It doesn't solve the issue directly, but what it does do is provide
some context to the browser (and, if said browser exposes it in a sane
manner, to the user) saying "hey, this is part of a larger set of
related pages...here's the previous one, here's the next one, here's
the table of contents for this whole collection, etc".

The fact that IE still doesn't expose LINK information at all (heck, even
LYNX has caught on with it) makes it less than a perfect solution...in
real world application, you'll still end up having to replicate the
LINK relationships with some proper links and/or buttons, unfortunately.
