They weren't placed into the navbar for reasons of css control. If they 
were within a div with id=navbar, it became significantly harder to give 
different styling to these than the rest of the navbar.

One workaround might be to do (id names probably want to be better):
<div id="navbar">
 	<div id="main-navbar">
 		....
 	</div>
 	<div id="common-links">
 		....
 	</div>
</div>

That way, you could choose to do all your styling on navbar (so they go 
together), or do no styling on navbar, and style main-navbar and 
common-links independently.

Dom had a think about this, and I think decided we'd need to extend 
Config::Tiny, or use something else, to be able to do it properly. Dom - 
am I remembering you comments correctly?
