Yes, I've decided that navigation items should generally be manageable 
objects. But I think I can avoid that in the current site using 
<metal:use-macro> and acquisition. I'm not sure whether I'll follow 
Fernando's suggestion and do all the definition in the master_page and use 
explicitly fill-slots or make use of my folder hierarchies and acquisition. 
Or maybe a mixture of both?
