Bread crumb navigation may not be directory tree / category tree. #83

Hi.

I think bread crumb navigation is not category tree, but is history tree. So I recommend this sample code for each them.

If you accessed "Main > Product > Dishwashers > FAQ/common > Diswashers" again, the bread crum navigation / history tree might be: <p> <a href="/">Main</a> &gt; <a href="/product">Product</a> &gt; <a href="/product/dishwashers">Dishwashers</a> &gt; <a href="/faq/common">common</a> &gt; <a href="/product/dishwasers">Dishwashers</a> &gt; </p>

and category tree might be: <ol> <li><a href="/">Main</a></li> <li><a href="/product">Product</a></li> <li><a href="/product/dishwashers">Dishwashers</a></li> </ol>

Your dishwasher example has confused me — Do you have a screenshot of the navigation that you wish to replace with a suggestion what it should be changed to?

Well… The bread crumb navigation is like browser's history buttons. The category tree navigation may be the address bar.

This is a screenshot with Windows Explorere for directory tree sample. directorytree

I reconsider, nested <ul> is more appropriate it.

Sorry for my dirty English.

I think this is an issue with the content of the spec, which is better filed at https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues if still relevant. As such, let me close this, but feel free to report it over there if it's still an issue!
