Ok ... I should have read it closer.

The funny thing is that I have just converted a site of mine using
hiermenus and dropdown menus to something using straight html menu's.
And everybody was better of doing it. Also the site got much faster ;-)
It is a site for a vocational school, and had a structure very similar
to the one you describe.
The problem is that the users never discivers the index_html files all
the way down tha navigational tree. So they lost a lot of information
that they needed to understand the page they finally ended up on.
They where very fond of a tree structure int the menu's, which I don't like.
So we ended up on the following compromise.

The reason I don't reach any higher is that I stand on the shoulders of
midgets.
