SCN: accomodating text-only browsers

[Joe Mabel]

We do, indeed, need to accomodate text-only browsers. However, that doesn't mean
we can't include multiple methods of navigation, one of them more friendly to
text-only, the other more useful with graphical browsers.

See, for example, http://www.scn.org/crisis/education.html, where
a very simple use of tables has allowed a set of graphical navigation buttons at
the upper right. Note that when used with a browser that does not support
tables, the text corresponding to these buttons ends up nicely at the bottom of
the page, instead of the prominent location it receives in a graphical browser.
