Well, I'm imagining being able to write markup like?[[${Parent} -> Parent:]]	
which would render as a link with the name of the parent.

And also some way of making a list of all the child pages, maybe:
	(:Children format=*:)
could produce a bullet list with all children.

Similarly, (:Siblings format=*:) could create a list of all the sibling 
pages.

So the navigation aids I'm thinking of would mainly be using special 
directives I think (except [[${Parent} -> Parent:]]).
