There are various approaches used for navigation.. can be mantained in a dcr, database or an external xml file, run time generation, directory structure etc.
This completely depends upon your requirements and which method you want to go for.

I guess we were specifically asked about a templating-based navigation,

Well, there are a number of approaches - there is a pretty interesting paper at one of previous GearUp's. I myself have implemented a number of strategies, one of them somewhat similar to that article.

But, as a basic idea, a single DCR with a finite number of nav leveles (say, 2, 3, or 4) could generate all permutation of nav include files, that then brought in by, say, SSI....Each navigation level gets its own unique ID, and a content page then refers to that ID in order to bring it in (or some other strategies are used to determine a correct nav)
