Interresting !
In fact I have developped a very complicated Contextual Menu, with
multiple <ul><li>.
Because of this strange behavior, on mouseout, I set a timeout before
closing the menu.
Then if the mouse movein quickly the menu stay opened like an OS Menu.
There is one issue with your solution, you might have to check if
mouse is on a submenu (sub UL/LI) ?
