By tradition, 'next' and 'previous' are context bound, while 'back' and 
'forward' is history bound.

It should be a link. Having the text is nice, on a side note I allways found 
the *tradition* of not showing the title for the next/previous pages in the 
top of the page strange -- why am i supposed to be more interrested in where 
'next' is in the bottom of the page??? A nice link form of the link text 
would be 'logic-place: title' ("next: Introdoction" etc)

Guess once... Of cause any docbook generated file contains a link to your home 
directory... The name 'home' is a tradition too. Maybe 'Front page' would be 
nicer?
