Not sure if accessibility is one of the goals of h5bp, but if so, a skip link should be a pretty standard component for most websites to allow keyboard or screen reader to skip over the navigation menus directly to the content. More info at http://bit.ly/sOGGbb and http://bit.ly/sKG7PL.

If accessibility is not a current goal, then feel free to ignore/close this pull request.

Isn't this already mostly available via the . visuallyhidden and . visuallyhidden.focusable helper classes?

It is and I think skip links should be decided by the web developer based on the content that goes in the header and not be an absolute 'always present' link.

No problem, thanks for the consideration and the tip about the the . visuallyhidden and . visuallyhidden.focusable helper classes - I hadn't noticed those before.
