I’m putting together my blog at the moment – which includes a tag cloud to allow people to browse by topic
I’m considering wrapping the tag cloud links in a <nav> tag since these are technically navigational links.
What do others think?
The W3C definition is “The nav element represents a section of a page that links to other pages or to parts within the page: a section with navigation links.” and then notes “Not all groups of links on a page need to be in a nav element — the element is primarily intended for sections that consist of major navigation blocks.”
In my opinion, tag clouds are more similar to results of a search query (which are definitely not navigation blocks) than to well defined navigation elements.
So: I wouldn’t.
