Hi, In my knowledge, nav-* property is useful for the contents for supporting remote controller and TV screen. The pros is content author can write the behaviour in straightforward manner by assigning destination element. It is quite easy rather than making focus navigation by JS. However if we will make responsible design application, as Glenn's mentioned, we need to prepare a set of nav-* properties. Dynamical preparation is best, but it could be discrete in some case. I believe there are benefits to the nav-* prop for content author for some case, but not be essential since it can be done by using JavaScript.
