Yes, it is

Slots are "owned" by the slot filler.  If you don't explicitly fill a slot, 
then the definition gets copied into your macro use, otherwise the tag type 
and all attributes of the fill-slot overwrite those of the define-slot.  If 
you don't want the <td> to be specialized in macro uses, you should do 
something like:

<td ...><div metal:fill-slot="navigator"></div></td>
