Indeed. Sorry, my question was merely rhetorical :)

I think that's what the NL element is meant for
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xhtml2-20040722/mod-list.html#sec_11.2.
(although I personally feel it's a far too...specific element, if you 
see what I mean; I think it could have been far better to define some 
generic block level elements - which may even sit outside of BODY - to 
act as general containers for things like page navigation, whatever form 
it may take)
