Sorry. It seems like we have been vehemently agreeing :-)
I agree that navigational markup (on the Web scale) is of crushing
importance at the moment, but in time, the problem will be solved.
If we leave other issues until this is solved, we might miss a golden
opportunity for laying a foundation to build upon, and be stuck with
heavy renovations later. My only concern (which I'm sure is shared by
everyone) is that we try to get as close to the elusive "right thing"
as possible, as quickly as possible.
