Jim,

I've read your message a couple times and don't fully understand your 
question.

This part in particualr is where I'm losing you:

> the current page rather than the page I'm creating a link.

Can you clarify this part and I might be able to help. I'm currently 
implementing a site in Radiant which is requiring plent of 
<r:navigation... tags and is crying for some more automated options that 
still have some r:navigation style "selected" and "here" class tagging.

I've had good success creating some global tags and am working on a 
couple of behaviors. Perhaps if I can understand what you're after we 
could collaborate on a new tag or two to meet both our needs.

Loren
