That is a suitable idea for a navigation. A simple list of everything in chronological order. However, we still hit a snag with episodes like The Day of the Doctor. It's the only TV story with War Doctor, who precedes the Ninth Doctor, and because he regenerates in it, there are no stories exclusive to his Doctor which can follow. You get a weird past/present tangle because the principal main character among the Doctors in the 50th is the Eleventh Doctor.
So, the 50th anniversary special is an interchangeable story- if you look at it from the War Doctor's perspective, this story predates Rose. I added a War Doctor timeline and a Ninth Doctor timeline in between TDOTD and Rose beneath the broadcast order navigation so that if someone was skimming through Doctors in order of incarnation, they wouldn't get confused.
There's a lot that could be done to fill in the gaps, but I believe we're on the right track. Big Finish Productions also deserves a mention, because of the massive number of stories they've produced which fill in the continuity gaps that were not covered onscreen. So instead of jumping from the TV Movie to The Night of the Doctor, we could continue with the earliest of the Eighth Doctor stories, Storm Warning and then follow his timeline down to Dark Eyes 2, the future releases which continue from there, until it finally links up to the mini-episode.
