I'd like to say we did a decent job with army.mil's pagination. I
would have liked the tabs to be larger, along with the clickable
area. I would have liked to color the clickable items more obviously.
I would have liked to omit the last link on the actual searches.
(Google Search Appliances guess at the total number of pages...
Making the last button very very broken) Thankfully, they also wanted
a non-GSA based mode without a search. Which lets you see everything
newest first. (Which the GSA also has trouble with)

There are problems. But we were mindful to duplicate it at the top
and bottom. Offer many number-per-page options, and the more savvy
users will realize the URL tells them how many items per page and
there is no limit to how many you want to get. Or the irrational
numbers per page you might want to see for that matter...

Over all I think we did well, just remember. Bigger. More obvious
what is clickable. And don't include a last tab if you can't really
predict a last page. Also.  >> have not yet reached the point of
ubiquity, or at least among people at the pentagon. But I think you
can intuit what is happening once you try them.

I'm a developer (And a contractor), so my sway on 'design' changes
is limited.

PS. Evan. I really like the idea of making the pagination keyboard
accessible. I may have just found the next pet project for myself. :)
Thanks!
