The following comment has been added to this issue:

     Author: Marshall Roch

       Body:
It's simpler to do the following:

<a href="#content" class="skipnav">Skip to content</a>
... header stuff here ...
<a name="content"></a>
... content div starts here ...

Then in the stylesheet, add:

.skipnav { display: none; }

Description:
As per http://xml.apache.org/forrest/compliance.html#N1003A

One postulate that could be easily achieved for viewing the site with lynx (or redhat's links) ASCII browser is [Priority 3] (Checkpoint 13.6) http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-TECHS/#tech-group-links .
One option is to use the MAP as in  http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#group-bypass
or how I did it and contend that it better renders graphically as well as ASCII-wise is:
1) after <div class="menu">, add
  <a href="#contentStart" style="line-height: 0px;border: none;">
            <img src="../../skins/common/images/1PxTranspa.gif" 
                alt="Bypass Navigation Bar" /></a>
2) after <div class="content">
  add   <a id="contentStart"></a>

What do you think?

Re 1) I tried to add this in book2menu.xsl as
<xsl:template match="menu">
    <div class="menu">
but unfortunately, it was ignored...
