The templates are intended to follow WCAG rather than lead it. (Which is why we would like review from this group as to whether we are following WCAG and whether the templates are accessible).

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.
