HiGreg
Well, this is most interesting indeed. It appears at first glance that the content area is invisible to Voiceover. This is true, up to a point. However, if I tab a few times, bringing keyboard focus to one of the links in the content area, voiceover is able to see everything fine until I stop interacting with the html content area. This holds true for both group navigation (my preference) and dom navigation. I don't see anything that looks as if it would cause this in the page source I can view, but given the external scripts and references, that doesn't mean anything. This behavior does not appear confined to Safari, as Omniweb exhibits the same issue and it also uses Webkit as its underlying rendering engine. Opera, however, does not seem to have the problem, and is not based on Webkit.
Just my observations

For reasons that I am unable to determine the content area of the site is not reachable with VoiceOver. Neither VO find nor Item chooser will locate any thing in the content area. Navigation take you to the header and footer but never to the content. Am I doing something wrong or is it the site? And if it is the site what have they done to make the content area invisible to VoiceOver?
