Michiel,

I wanted to add additional flag properties to the section and page types for
controlling display in several different navigational systems in our site.
This appears to be very messy at best, and I've decided against adding any
properties to these types and rearchitecting the site to use custom section
and page objects is not an option either. The approach I plan on taking is
to create several objects, one per display property desired, and use those
for managing site navigation display. These objects will most likely store a
simple list of element IDs for the display property being controlled that
can be loaded in an application/server scope memory structure on site
instantiation. As I build site navigation displays I can check against the
appropriate memory structure for corresponding display attributes. Would it
be faster to search against a list of IDs or a structure of IDs each stored
as a key. Seems that a hash/structure approach would be faster. Any
thoughts?
