.Jon asked: "Is there any recommended combination of HTML and CSS elements in the Page Authoring Guidelines that should be used to create WWW site navigation bars?" In my view it would be best to use the MAP element to distinguish a navigation bar rather than using an ad-hoc class name. One should remember that giving special meaning to a class name after for two years people are using the class attribute for stylesheets may break existing pages who accidentally used the same class name for some other pupose. On the other hand, MAP is always used to group links. MAP elements are usually used to create navigation bars with an image, but the spec. doesn't restrict their usage to this. MAP allows block level elements as content and if a MAP is not associated with any IMG or OBJECT a browser will render its content.
