I know we have discussed this before, but I still keep looking at the
breadcrumb expecting to see where I am, not just the parent page.  It's not
a technical issue, but just my opinion.

I guess why it bothers me is that it sits there on top of the page as if it
was a title.

So on page "mod_perl 1.0 User Guide" it says:

Home / Documentation /

I'd kind of expect to see

      <a>Home</a> /  <a>Documentation</a> / mod_perl 1.0 User Guide

That's how google does it.  I know it's slighly different as it's a
category list on google, but it still shows where you are, instead of just
what's above.

http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/Perl/?tc=1

If you then click on, say, Getwet then what would change is that all would
be links. i.e it would change from


      <a>Home</a> /  <a>Documentation</a> / mod_perl 1.0 User Guide
to
      <a>Home</a> /  <a>Documentation</a> / <a>mod_perl 1.0 User Guide</a>

My main point is that it looks somewhat like a title to show where you are,
but it really just shows what's above.

well we've been through this, haven't we?

the 'where I'm?' is really two lines:

breadcrumb\n
------
title

so the two together show where you are.

The two problems with doing:

current_breadcrumb + title\n
------
title

1) there are many long titles which won't fit into one line, breaking a bit the layout of the page, and wrapped titles are ugly.

2) the title is going to be duplicated. I don't think it's a good idea.

I don't think this is really a problem. Our design simply doesn't fit into google's pants, so we have it the optimal way that fits our pants.
