That's perilously close to a circular argument. First you need to accept the
Nielsenian dictate that the navbar ought to be on the left and then get
agitated when it moves to the top, albeit for a marketing reason. If you
accept the notion that the navbar should be wherever a specific project
naturally dictates, then there's no reason to panic :-) For instance, I
rarely consider left or right navbars when designing a intranet with a lot
of tables, as I need most of the horizontal real estate.
