oops sorry, you're right, and it's available on any element at all, and it 
says "If not specified, then the metadata for an element is its content. " 
which means that with <p>chicken</p>  then chicken is metadata about the 
paragraph, seems a little odd.

The fact that the specification doesn't say it is?  the fact that it uses 
the word collection, whereas for ordered it uses the word "sequence" - Of 
course the actual specification like so much else is so underspecified that 
we can't really say.

However, if you're right, and it is ordered, then the fact you can't have 
unordered navigation is still of a concern to me.

Cheers,
