As Barry points out the "skip navigation" link it is useful for PDA 
users so Alternate style sheets may be a useful workaround here. You can 
author style sheets and serve them up according to the requirements of 
different devices, with or without "skip navigation" visible or other 
page elements.

Tantek has a cool "favelets" page that simulates different devices, 
screen resolutions etc

Alternate style sheets may require a device "sniff" or a style switcher 
menu in this instance until support improves for specific media 
dependent style sheets.

See

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html

for more.

Though media dependent style sheets are a great idea I think support is 
patchy (especially for the @media rule) though it will no doubt improve 
in the not-so-distant...if it hasn't already!!
