Content guidelines

• NavList.Item texts should be short and descriptive

Accessibility

• When rendered with div the aria-role must be set to navigation.
• NavList can be passed an aria-label to override the default Sidebar.
• NavList.Item should always navigate the user, and not trigger other actions.
