Re: Breadcrumbs

Let face it, what we really need is a "breadcrumb" XHTML tag to get the 
proper semantics,  Breadcrumbs are not simple or order lists, they are not 
headings, or any existing HTML semantic tag.  They are a hierarchal list 
of link representing a path through a Web site, 

But in the meantime, we all seem to be able to learn the meaning of the 
common convention of using the "greater than" character in between the 
links in the breadcrumb hierarchy:

Home > products > specific product > this page 

Once it is explained to the screen reader user, the sighted user, any user 
- then they get it,  Same thing for first time users on the Web - once I 
explained links to my Mother, she got it.
