I want to pick out one other point: The Spec claims that the "user is
concentrated on editing documents not on browsing". It is strange, though, that
the Shift+F5 magic was implemented because the user was concentrated on reading,
not on editing, and hence needed always the very beginning of the document to be
shown. (Maybe because he than can easily access the chapter he wants by a simple
click on the corresponding line in the table of contents?)

Let's think about our users for real, and not for excuse: They are used to links
in both, browsers and OOo, but they maybe are not always aware about the HYP/SEL
switch. So, something needs to be done to make editing (selecting) of links
easier. But I don't see any good reason why we should change both, the features
for selecting and browsing, if changing the features for selecting only would do
the job - and with less spillover effects, on the top of everything.

You can deduce from the fact that additional "magic" is about to be implemented,
that changing the basic behavior of a link, that is: to work as a link, was not
the best idea ever. Why making the program guess whether a user wants a link to
work as a link or to be edited, if we can have a consistent and easy to
understand solution, that even doesn't upset our regular customers? Why making
links behave not only different from what they used to behave, but even
different from module to module and from editable to non-editable sections?

I agree with Pavel: Stick to the current (≤ 2.2.1) behavior for browsing (HYP),
introduce Ctrl+Click (and/or context menu) for what used to be SEL.
