I agree with this.. we should expect that:

  * some people will want to rearrange the items
  * there will be people wanting to add plugins for which we don't
    pre-specify a location in the menu system

It would also make sense for anything that scrolls the mainnav items to 
know when it doesn't need to be there.

Cheers,
