The following is a proposal for HTML techniques. I will implement the proposal in a draft unless there is objection from the group. There will still be room for debate of the proposal in the context of the next draft. The LINK element [1] provides ways to identify a document's position in a collection, and to identify the location of important other documents, like the start, contents, next, previous, etc. (see link types [2]). These links are not rendered in the body of the document but are supported by the browser interface. I propose we create a technique in the Navigational Supports section recommending the use of this contextual information. This would relate to Guideline 2.4 [3].
