It was originally Leon's intention that such things should be coded by
the engineer designing the site. In a sense, the framework is present
and the programmer is free to fill in the "silly details" such as
navigation ;)

Please look carefully at the navigation for
<www.restorationhardware.com>. In particular, click on one of the
items, and click on "Previous Items" and "Next Items". If you wish to
return to the department, that's what the links on the side are for.
I'm not saying this is the perfect solution, but it is *a* solution.

Do you double-dog dare me? ;)

What do you other guys on the list think? (Remember, we shouldn't
change the project *too* much while Leon's gone. If you guys want
*drastic* changes, we should probably wait for Leon to get back, simply
out of courtesy for all that he has done.)
