What if you had a table of contents (not an HTML table...)? You wouldn't put that at the bottom. In fact you can't force people to put navigation bars anywhere, they're going to pop up anywhere, at the whim of the author. Tables are O.K. to provide navigation information, as long as they are clearly marked up, and can be lineraized. Kindest Regards, Sean B.
