This js/jquery snippet will give focus to the first link in the main content area as defined by role='main'. This is a hack on top of the conventional 'skip navigation' link hack, that in many browsers does not change keyboard focus. It enhances the aria landmark role=main, which is widely supported by screen readers. Two birds with one stone.
