Why?  HTML is at least supposed to be a *semantic* language - introducing new tags 
just to get around the unwillingness of some people to provide proper navigation is a 
really *bad* idea.

Everything you want to do with this "extension" can be done perfectly well with the 
existing A element - just use that and be done with it.

Yeah - I think the very fact that we're discussing "let's make a new tag for navigation" 
speaks for itself.  Ridiculous.
