We can also remove all special handling of the navigation panel and let all XWiki pages be displayed in the panel, regardless of their type: book pages, book content subpages, variants, etc.
Then, we need to make sure that navigation is understandable for the editors, assuming that book editors master the complex logic of building a book (they know that content subpages exist, etc.)
Note also that some of these xwiki pages are hidden, so not everyone would see them.
