Martin and Matthias,
LOV stands for "list of values".
By the way, it seems that most people pronounce it "L-O-V" instead of
"love." It took a few people laughing at me from calling it the "love
component" that got me to switch. :)
Take care,
Joey

LOV - I don't understand that either. Me not being a native english

might be the reason.

Great Idea!
I also think that simpler names would make it much easier to get started.
although I don't really understand "breadCrumbs" (maybe stick to
navigationPath
or just path) I think that the other suggestions are really great.
