Hi Warren, For those types of menu, I work around this by adding an unnecessary child to main nav items that otherwise would have none. I use the extra child to point to the same page as it's parent and also provide slightly more info in the link text. An example of this can be seen here: http://www.strathcona.vic.edu.au/
Hover over "Term dates" or "OSA" to see what I did there. Joel Birch.
