This is what I thought at first, too. But as Miles explained, most
people might like such a permanent navigation bar -- most web pages are
cluttered with it.

To avoid the so called "display bug" (same visible info twice) the
proposal was to make look both lines different. We can achive this
goal replacing "Next: ", "Prev: ", and "Up: " with graphical elements
("-> ", "<- ", and "^ " or real arrows if supported).
Arguable enhancement proposal: repeat the navigation bar at the end of
every node page.
