Like Joseph said: "If "Aunt Tilly" is a significant user type, or actual
persona, then by all means include home in the main navigation."

I find your remark a little degrading to 'the user'. Not all of them are
internetsavvy people like us and some of them need a "reset" kind of
function. The users on our site for example type "google.com" in our Google
enhanced internet searchbox (Google logo included).
