Spark, The site of Lucene is cool, and we may consider using their approach to navigation. However implementing it wouldn't be very easy because it will require to re-write the navigation support completely. I didn't come up with many site which feature site map. Those I looked at didn't have any description of the links. Despite this fact, I consider that having a short description for a link is good idea, at least for some of the links.
Agree. As another option for placing description is *using title attribute*
which will be rendered as a tooltip in all browsers. When user hovers link with mouse, a tooltip with link description will be displayed. This approach will surely reduce "visual clutter".
IMHO, this site map is still a little too verbose. That would be a GREAT idea at least to me. Regards,
