I agree (as I mention in the post) that segmentation of common link area have been setting of filters for SE's - this way the SE's (google in particular) is giving you an option to clarify what YOU say those elements are. Relationship attributtes are other signals that may play a factor (I ignore the nofollow argument for now), rel elements which show trust may actually end up drivig more juice to the linkee.. And dont forget SEO for Rich Media such as Video and applications, making their content more accessible makes them easier to optimise for. Def a game changer when it comes to video SEO. Regarding spamming, well what isnt :P ? I think its more than signals Terry – its about segmentation clarity.

IMO, it's obvious SE's in particular Google have been able to segment navigation and footer links. The microformats and machine readable language in general are the furure. HTML 5 is a yawner aside from it putting the nofollow and canonical tags under the W3c which are best not left to the whims of Search engines.

If you <i>know</i> that putting links in a < footer > element will get them devalued or ignored then that could be a useful place to put links that you want site wide but don't care about getting any link juice (e.g. terms and conditions, etc). Likewise, if the < nav > section helps determine the way in which a spider crawls you site from a primary navigation point of view, that could also be helpful.
