My interest comes from a sideways view on accessibility, which is pretty important with the miniscule size of handheld screens[;)]
This ALA article was all I could find about the subject at the time, but it is quite thorough.
About navigation, this is directly from the article linked above,
quote:
The top of the page is prime real estate; you do not want the reader to get bored scrolling to the content. Therefore, minimize the navigation and decoration at the top. A logo and one or two small navigational elements, such as a short navigation list, breadcrumbs, or a search input, should be enough. Long navigation lists, advertisements, and other marginal content should go after the main text. For most layout schemes, this corresponds to putting it in the right sidebar (as opposed to the left) for desktop layouts. A List Apart’s XHTML structure is excellent in this respect.
Inessential navigational elements should be hidden using display: none. For example, if you are using dynamic drop-down menus across the top, make the menu’s title a link to that section of your website and hide the menu of subsection links. This makes the navigation less top-heavy, and if your site is well-organized, shouldn’t cause much navigational difficulty.
A point made earlier on is that it is best to use percentages for sizing, rather than pixels.
D'you know, I don't even have one of these things[:D]
