I used the menu HTML5 tag for the first time yesterday.

<menu *ngIf="isNotHome">
   <menuitem><a href="/home">escape away</a></menuitem>
   <menuitem *ngIf="whereAmI != 'list'"><a href="/list">view a list of records</a>
         </menuitem>
   <menuitem *ngIf="whereAmI != 'simple'"><a href="/simple">make simple edits</a>
         </menuitem>
   <menuitem *ngIf="whereAmI != 'reactive'"><a href="/reactive">reactive forms
         experiment</a></menuitem>
</menu>
