It seems already to say that:

"The nav element represents a section of a page that links to other pages  
or to parts within the page: a section with navigation links.

Note: Not all groups of links on a page need to be in a nav element — the  
element is primarily intended for sections that consist of major  
navigation blocks. "

Or do you means something like "A list of links that are not navigation  
around the site or page - for example, a list of sponsored links, a list  
of "other reading" or allied sites, should not be <nav>" ?
