RE: [techs] 2.4 The link element and navigation tools

Where there is a book-like structure - i.e. there is a clearly identified
next page or previous page, where there is a glossary or table of contents, I
would suggest that the page fails checkpoint 13.2 if it doesn't have link
elements of the appropriate type, no?

Cheers
