I don't want to be a PITA - but, me too. I implemented an SQL-based dynamic tree tag DTML instance based on the 'good stuff' from Phillip Eby et al - one of my users found the totally unreleased 'beta' site where I had it running and (after saying how cool it was) then reeled off a list of cosmetic changes that he wanted doing (open & closed book icons, differently emphasised text for the 'active' leaf etc.) sheesh! ...users.

And before anyone says 'you do it' - I can't...yet. I'm not revved up enough on Python methods etc. to do it yet, but considering I'm basing our 3-year project on Zope, as they used to say in 'StingRay' "anything can happen in the next half hour!"
tone.
ps our site is http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ - navigate to the demo area and click on the 'database driven' section to see the SQL menu stuff in action.
