This is essentially what I've been doing. I have a system where the
menu, as defined in the XML, is searched for the current URL and the

great for applications where one can't rely on javascript. I handle
the authorisation bit by defining roles in the XML file - the code
then only shows a menu choice for those logged in with the right role.
