In the following the '*' character indicates a selected tag.

0 1 *2 *3

The situation means, that 2 and 3 are selected.
What should a viewprev() do in this scenario?
What should a viewnext() do in this scenario?

Now assume this:

*1 *2 *3

What should a viewprev() do in this scenario?
What should a viewnext() do in this scenario?

Where is the general case? Where is predictability?
