 Right, five does feel like a lot. I guess it depends on what theme you're
 using (as always). A page with one main navigation, one single post
 navigation, and one comment navigation would be reasonable again. I have
 no strong feelings there. But keep in mind, that since we add it to the
 nav widget, there's really no easy way to limit it, even if we omitted it
 in a template tag.

 > 2. The usage of a `nav` element for comments navigation.

 Yeah, I'd interpret that a bit more loosely. I think the purpose of that
 is to avoid having all anchors wrapped in a nav element, because you use
 anchors to navigate. I like the example with the footer links that follows
 your spec quote, to illustrate that.

 Also: Thank you everyone at a11y for taking the time to review it!
