Ok I added the following:
1.) first three navi levels stay the same height if content present or not. 2.) nested custom project documentation menus under "About <Project>" (requires special formating (and menu/@type="tab" attribute to be visible there). 3.) disabled "Development Process" button (working on removing it).
As an example of three levels being filled: http://www.apache.org/~mdiggory/commons/math/userguide/index.html

I think this helps. Although the "About Math" tab should have a blank subtab for consistency.
...now the left nav - it is soooo busy.

I worked out the kinks on an alternate project navigation, please have a look and comment:

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 it, but encountered small issues with merging two separate "menu sets").
I think its important to clearly separate the "Projects Navigation" from the overall shared "Commons Navigation", I believe positioning them in very separate locations of the site gives the user a much clearer path and ease in determining the level of the site they are within.
