My concern is that it's a ring and rings go around things and that's
what I was trying to prevent (i.e., going around the WWP vs. TO it).
Rings are by their very nature designed to take the site visitor from
ring-point to ring-point directly with the next/previous links and never
go outside of the ring itself much less across the ring (where the WWP
would be). Sure you can go anywhere in the ring structure but my
experience is that people move along it continuously vs. jumping from
ring-point to ring-point.
