Lucky for you, I guess.  Those are both still target platforms for us,
and we still see a decent number of traffic from them.

If you can show me how to take a bunch of markup and convert it into a
JS menu that'll work on NS4+, IE4+, Gecko and Safari without it being
messy, I'll be very impressed.  To this point, I've utterly failed.

I absolutely agree this would be desirable, but it doesn't handle
security properly (you don't want to do security client-side, so you
need an abstract representation on teh server anyway), it doesn't
support all platforms equally well (as I've said above), and it still
doesn't facilitate every potential format, at least not efficiently.
