Re: [development] update/replace the book module - poll, questions
Tao, this is exactly the point we're heading for- the new "book" module should primarily provide a UI and navigation elements, while all the heaving lifting in terms of maintaining the hierarchy will be done with the code and tables defined in menu.inc. -Peter

It seems like the only things book does that menu doesn't is put in the cute next/prev and children links, which would be easy enough to add in. Other than that it is just UI.
