When I first came to Cocoon, I had similar thoughts about deriving the navigation from the files themselves. However, I decided against it in the end, and decided to follow the model used by Forrest, which is to use a 'linkmap' document. Having made this decision, my site (70 pages+) was up and running two hours later - so it obviously worked. One thing that Forrest does which is impressive (which I will steal for my site at some point) is to allow linking to other pages in a site without knowing the page's final URL. When linking to a page, you use the page's ID. A couple of input modules and a transformer then translate that ID into the proper URL. Hope this helps.
