Breadcrumbs make a lot more sense when the current page is included at the end.

I'm requesting that an option be included in the theme settings to turn on the page title for breadcrumbs, an extra option might be to make the title a link to the current page.

Since the breadcrumbs in Zen are displayed directly before the page title, this seems pretty redundant to me.

Also, in your sub-theme, you should be able to add this to your templates.

"Since the breadcrumbs in Zen are displayed directly before the page title, this seems pretty redundant to me."

Yet Zen is intended to be easily changed, so it's not redundant when you move things around.

"Also, in your sub-theme, you should be able to add this to your templates."

I was unsuccessful in my first attempt, I'll have to try it again when the time comes.

As Jakob Nielson says, one of the conventions for breadcrumbs is to "[start] with the homepage and [end] with the current page". Drupal doesn't follow this convention which is OK by me, but the main thing is that the option is there and it would make perfect sense to have it in the Zen theme with the other breadcrumb options.

Well, if you’re going to quote a usability expert… :-p

This should be easy to add.
