Agreed.

That won't work with the current frameset structure. We could certainly
circumvent this with proprietary solutions but not cross browser compatible.
At least not if we do it the "standard" way with a menu opening up from top
to bottom or vice versa. We need to let the submenu slide from left to right
inside the menu bar. That probably looks really funky, but I have no idea
how that deals with usability.
