Comment (by GrahamArmfield):

 Replying to [comment:5 afercia]:
 > By the way, the main issue I see here is that many browsers still don't
 give focus to elements targeted with an anchor link if these elements are
 not focusable. That's the reason why the main content `div` has a
 `tabindex="0"` attribute.

 If I've understood the situation correctly then `tabindex="-1"` would be
 better. This allows focus to be given to an element (including in Chrome
 and Safari) but prevents it from being included in the normal tab order.
 As far as I know this is supported by all modern browsers.
