Zend_Navigation ships with two page types: MVC pages – using the class Zend_Navigation_Page_Mvc URI pages – using the class Zend_Navigation_Page_Uri MVC pages are link to on-site web pages, and are defined using MVC parameters (action, controller, module, route, params). URI pages are defined by a single property uri, which give you the full flexibility to link off-site pages or do other things with the generated links (e.g. an URI that turns into <a href="#">foo<a>).
