Good point.  What about /topnavigation or /bottomnavigation?  This would
also allow /leftnavigation and /rightnavigation which will someday be
needed.

This is necessary with what I am doing right now with JetSpeed.  For
Avantgo syncronization I need to give it a URL with very raw content 
(now GIFs, HTML 3.2 etc).  Therefore I want to null out my navigation
(/topnavigation/JetSpeedNoNavigation) so that there is as little content
as possible.

Granted I could do this with my own Layout....  But it would be more
open if I could just call RunData.getTopNavigation(), etc and then
provide a default if it is null or the user specified one if it != null.
