I'm not convinced that authors feel that screen space is valuable, or
that they would want to hide their navigation if the navigation was
integrated into the UA's chrome. Nor am I convinced that if it was
integrated into the UA's chrome in a usable fashion, that it would take
less room than it would if styled by the author of the page.
