Dude, the nav document is what...ten K, at most? That's totally insignificant. Leaving it in doesn't hurt anything.

Actually, not at all accurate. They added a new feature (the nav TOC) and left the old version (NCX) alone, which is exactly what you say you want but then rant about getting. Combining them would've broken backward compatibility, which is a big Not Do.

Ever heard the saying that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing? Yeah, um, you have "a little knowledge" on this one.
