Yes. But we probably want this behaviour for all menus, not just 
top-level ones.  For example, see how the menus change between these two 
pages:

http://maven.apache.org/reference/developer-guide.html
http://maven.apache.org/ant-guide/index.html

I assume we want to implement this click-menu-to-expand behaviour in 
Forrest.

So instead of redefining tabs as "top-level menus with special 
behaviour", let's fix the real problem.  That then frees us to use tabs 
as they were originally intended: as bookmarks to arbitrary locations in 
the site.
