RE: Recursive Links in menu bars

Walter,

thanks for your thoughts.

That was one of our discussion points, especially considering keyboard
navigation.

* If somebody accidentally follows a recursive link, then he or she may have
to navigate back to the link position and - for example follow the adjacent
link. For keyboard users that could be "tedious". 
* On the other hand, if there are enough cues for the current item (visual
and textual) then users should be aware of the fact, that the highlighted
item is a recursive link.

We weren't sure whether both (or only one) of these aspects are relevant.
