That's awesome. Are there restrictions that would prevent us from just including the superfish script file (and CSS) as part of a widget? It looks like it wants ULs anyways, which is what Lift already outputs. From what DPP said, it should be easy to dump the entire menu as a full UL (with nesting), in which case it really is just adding the appropriate <script> element on the page.
