I need clarification on 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks. Can you tell me if my interpretation is correct: I think it is possible to pass WCAG 2.0 SC 2.4.1 by doing ONE of the following: Creating links to skip blocks of repeated materials. OR Grouping blocks of repeated material in a way that can be skipped. In other words, I think you can pick a single technique from either of these options and pass 2.4.1. For example: If Site "A" met "G1: Adding a link at the top of each page that goes directly to the main content area" , it would pass 2.4.1 (even if Site A did not employ anything that address "grouping blocks of repeated material in a way that can be skipped". OR If Site "B" met "H69: Providing heading elements at the beginning of each section of content", it would pass 2.4.1 (even if Site B did not employe anything that addresses "creating links to skip blocks of repeated materials". I know this is a very narrow interpretation of WCAG 2.0 SC 2.4.1, and with all my heart I recommend it is a best practice to employ both headings and skip links, but the question at hand is...do I "fail" a site on WCAG 2.0 SC 2.4.1 if it doesn't have sufficient techniques for both "creating links to skip blocks of repeated materials" and "grouping blocks of repeated material in a way that can be skipped"? Thanks in advance for your insight (as you might guess, the Deque Accessibility Experts are not in agreement in how to interpret this).
