Howdy,
I like it ;)  As long as both styles are available and it's easy to
switch between them / specify which one you want, it's all good ;)

have a

>> http://www.apache.org/~mdiggory/commons/math/project-info.html
>>
>> Pro's
>>
>> 1.) Navigation better integrated into page layout.
>> 2.) Horizontal positioning at top of page more traditional for
>navigation.
>> 3.) Strong CSS control over look and feel, 0% javascript
>> 4.) Clearly separates "Shared Commons Navigation" from "Individual
>> Project Navigation".
>>
>> Con's
>>
>> 1.) Limits number of items on a level to the width of the page
>> (although it does provide "wrapping" when items are greater than
width).
>>
>> 2.) Currently limited to menus nested three levels deep.
>> (but easily extendable to more).
>> 3.) Currently doesn't integrate custom project navigation.
>> (but could easily be adapted for such support, I had initially
included

sets").
>>
>>
>> I think its important to clearly separate the "Projects Navigation"
from
>> the overall shared "Commons Navigation", I believe positioning them
in

path
>> and ease in determining the level of the site they are within.
