I think that Header - Menu - Content - Footer is an elegant way to go. First
thing you know is where you are on the site, then what you can do and after
that what the page has to offer. The footer isn't the least important thing,
but it is called a footer. I think that it is a step forward for
accessibility when you use shortcuts to the sections, combined with inline
anchors.
<div style="display:none">
<a href="#menu">jump to menu</a>
<a href="#content">jump to content</a>
<a href="#footer">jump to content</a>
</div>
This works fine on content-heavy pages on large sites, when you browse with
a screen reader you will know the menu by heart in a while.
