I personally think the navbar is a big ugly heap of ****. I usually ended
up coding my own ad-hoc navbar code, because I did not like the code
generated by the navbar. I have a patch for the navbar to make it behave
more like I want it to. However, a good revamp will probably be in order.

But other than that, WML is a great product. It may still use some
extra APIs here and there so people don't re-invent the wheel time and
again.

When Mark Jason Dominus been to Israel to speak at YAPC::Israel::2003, he
told in one of his lightning talks about his Text::Template module. He
worked on it for a while, and then decided that everything was
already there, and he left it alone. Then people asked him if the module
was still in good shape because there were no new releases for a long
time. So, he said it is silly to assume a program does not do its job
because it has not seen new versions.
