On the face of it, this does seem to do what I need, but I will have to look at it. It seems to me that my desired menu wouldn't even require AJAX, but just having the module write a CSS to make a navigation section visible rather than invisible when you are in that section. This would make the navigation usable without any sort of scripting, and javascript viewers would be able to directly access any section, subsection or subsubsection of the menu through dhtml.

I'm kind of torn on whether the AJAX stuff is a good or a bad thing...on the one hand, it means I'm not building or sending ALL of the menu on each page load. On the other hand, my guess is that doing even a partial bootstrap for the ability to get that next section of menu is probably pretty inefficient on its own. The machine is sitting idle on its own dedicated hardware at the moment...perhaps I'll do some tests....
