[Mikus Grinbergs]

Having just performed a rapid scan through the individual chapters 
of the OLPC manual that was created from FLOSS input, what I sorely 
missed was a 'next' capability.  When chapters are combined into a 
manual, it ought to be possible to navigate directly from one 
chapter to the adjoining chapter.  [Most of the Linux documentation 
is organized this way, with 'prev' and 'next' pointers inserted at 
the beginning and end of each chapter.  Typically Linux documents 
also put an 'index' pointer among these - but when floss manuals 
provide the index as a sidebar, that pointer ought to be omitted.]

Seems to me the best way to provide these navigational pointers 
would be to have FLOSS itself insert them into each low-level 
document.  They should remain "inactive" until the low-level 
document gets "combined" into a higher-level "container".
