	Thanks for pointing this out. I just took a look and this is true for the 
current CVS version of Nice Menus that is hot off the presses. The 4.6 era 
version is Javascript dependent (at least the one I downloaded on March 20th).

	Nice Menu's Jake Gordon can enlighten us further about the CVS version's 
compatibility with 4.6 installations.

	True. However, all these modules (to the best of my knowledge) support 
content visibility related to users and their roles based on the current 
limits of the node_access mechanism. The design constraint of the node 
access hook system is a point of current discussion following Rob Thorne's 
node access lament:
