About 18months ago we implemented such a scheme for an internet appliance which had physical (well touch screen) buttons for the next/prev actions. Informal experience (we never got as far as formal user testing) to this as a UI was reasonably positive, though the interactions between "previous" (in document link order) and "back" (in browsing history) were potentially confusing. We used the HTML LINK header tag, as in: <link rel="com.hp....next" href="next-page.html"> which seemed like the right way to encode such things. To make such a thing work generally there would need to be agreement on the "rel" attributes to use. In our case we had an intemediary web server which could, in principle at least, reformat external pages to insert such tags using heuristics so we only needed agreement between our clients and our intermediary server.
