Even if we are going to have some kind of tree-based navigation
sidebar beastie, I would be a hearty +1 in favour of doing Dmitri's
breadcrumb suggestion anyway.
I think we can agree that a full breadcrumb/ancestry trail is superior
to "Up/Home", and unlike the sidebar nav idea doesn't require any
fancy scripting shenanigans or possible browser compatibility strife.
