Local navigation should be presented consistently. |

On secondary pages of the site, the user's current location is indicated by an open square icon, links to "sibling" pages by filled squares, and links
to "parent" pages by backward-facing arrows. The link to the utility page "print version" is represented by a graphic icon. This treatment is consistent throughout the site.
