 Oh! that was good Mary ... Consistency for consistency's sake is a great
rule!

Maybe not a rule.. but came up this week working with several similar
web sites who are supposed to "integrate" 

We have to use the same method of navigation everywhere on the site. 

We're dealing with two kinds of content that are sort of similar, like
say, training & documentation.  Current problem is:  should navigation
start with product or start with region.  They want it to be the same
everywhere.  Internal, external, different content types, whatever.
SAME is some kind of mantra... but they haven't checked to see what fits
the users needs.
