I don't want the links in a menu.  OK, the main structure of the site
is reflected in the menu but very often one wants to put a link to
somewhere else on the site in the body of some text somewhere.  The
menus would rapidly become unmanageable if you put a lot of links in
them.

As I said just before the *total* separation of structure and content
breaks some of the point of web pages to my mind.  Simple, non
navigational, links need to be embedded in the actual text, that's
what HTML/web is for.

I'm beginning to think that something wiki like is going to work
better for us, even though we don't need the co-operative aspects of a
wiki.
