 What do you think of the idea of building a version of a "Skip" link,
 similar in functionality to the "Skip Navigation" links that we employ in
 the Dashboard? The purpose would be to give a screen reader user the
 OPTION of skipping the additional buttons, going directly to the editor.

 In other words, "keep" the connection, but make it "optional" to use.
