I believe that the WebAIM site does a good job of leading by example:
http://webaim.org/
One thing that concerns me is "discoverability" of the skip link where it
is. The sad truth is that skip links are used so infrequently that only
technically proficient users are likely to use it. In disabled populations,
technical proficiency is far lower than in non-disabled ones. What may
happen is that the disabled users may not look for (and therefore may not
notice) the skip link or know what they should do with it. Once they do
discover & use it, however, they're likely to appreciate it very much.
