 * I imagine this gets aired often, because there are lots of questions and half-
   solutions on the forums and with plugins: Ability to show and hide page children
   in page menus of a web site in the web browser (I am not talking aobut hiding
   them from the backend, which is well supported via wp_list_pages). For those 
   of us who use WP as a CMS this is extremely important! I suggest:
 * * Ability to specify flyout menus (in horizantal menus these would be drop-down)
   *
   Ability to create show and hide sub-categories on vertical menus (Click on a 
   page link and it’s children appear below). * This functionality could be managed
   from Settings where you could chose various optiosn:
 * – Auto show/hide page children on click
    – Insert shown children inline – Show
   children in flyout (drop-down) – Keep children visible on subpages of same parent(
   this provides a mini-menu) – Children are shown by hover on parent – Children
   are shown by click on parent (second clic opens parent page) – Children are only
   shown on pages of same parent.
 * etc.
 * I realize there are various plugins out there, but they are all designed with
   the horizontal drop-down in mind and I also find them somewhat difficult to custumize,
   being more of a cut-and-paster and modifier than a coder.
 * Thanks for listening!
