It did rather confuse me. I thought you'd be talking about links with
only fragment identifiers (i.e. same page) rather than a navigation
menu and a notion of "current selection" on the menu (which doesn't
even need to always be to the same page)

Simple, works beautifully.

Not so easy, but still a well-known problem
<body class="page-foo" >
....
<!-- SSI begins here -->
...
<li class="nav-foo" >...</li>
<li class="nav-bar" >...</li>
<li class="nav-bat" >...</li>
...
<!-- SSI ends here -->
....
And in the CSS,
li.current,
..page-foo .nav-foo,
..page-bar .nav-bar,
..page-bat .nav-bat
{ background-color: red; }
Obviously you tweak the parent element of each page differently, but
that's easy
