 It was reported that TwentyEleven has a ''skip link'' that does not appear
 as the first thing inside the `<body>`. For a11y reasons I believe that
 having the skip link, where one exists, as the first content is highly
 preferable.

 This ticket proposes we swap to using a hook based approach to adding
 bypass links here and then use that same approach across all of the
 default themes - ultimately making it the standard way of themes adding
 their initial skip links.

 Using the `wp_body_open` hook with fallback it is possible as outlined in
 this comment on that same ticket:
