The navigation results could be considered a repository of navigational links used on a page, or accross a project, allowing the assignment of symbolic names to such links. For this the two important attributes are the id and path. The id would be unique globally, and could be used to refer to the URL destinations.

Some frameworks include navigational rules configurations, which could be used to determine destination paths based on page of origin (from page), the preceding action or its result.

This could also be used document page flow.

dWebSpec navigation-path descriptor is designed to capture all these possibilities as well as access security roles and ?request options.
