I think there is allready a solution proposal for floting navigation
aids.  It is called the <BANNER> </BANNER> tag.  This tag can be used for
e.g corporate logos and navigation aids, that are not ment to be scrolled
with the rest of the page.  I'm not sure if they will stay on the screen
when you move on to the next link, but you can have the same banner on
all you pages.

Personnally I think that navigation buttons that are in their own
(floting) window are much more nicer than the ficed screen-area-consuming
frames (that cannot even be closed).

(ALAS! I have found yet a new BUG in Netscape 2.0 for Win 3.1x)
