I think one issue that is critical for the web content group to address in the next version and has dependencies with other WAI working groups is developing standard markup techniques that can be used to generate navigational cues to the content of a web page. There are alot of internal links in the current web content techniques document to the navigation section of the document[1], but there are no concrete examples (at least that I saw in that section) of how to include navigation information in an HTML document. I think there needs to be some consensus of the technique (or techniques) to mark navigation bars and other logical units commonly found on www pages. I think some of the templates published by charles [2] for the authoring tools working group is attempting to do this, but I there needs to be guidiance in the web content documents so that authors are all using the same markup techniques.
