This seems like the right approach.  We'd like to use it to
define a linear sequence, for example, the sections of a chapter.
However, we should probably be sure to distinguish "next" and "prev" 
from "forward" and "back", which have to do with the navigational
sequence.

In a previous message, you 
mentioned using the GROUP tag also for this purpose.  Can you
explain use of the GROUP tag?  I'd like to use the GROUP tag to
is define a set of links shared by a set of documents, such as
chapters all containing links to a table of contents, or a glossary.

Thanks.
