Just a data point; on SeaMonkey the Tutorial menu goes up and is
totally unreadable.  The other menus come down.  This is on a laptop
1280x1024 screen
  But I also find the menus annoying and intrusive, and I am not a
good person to have an opinion on thsi.

I'm late to this party but nowadays I am earning my living doing web dev
in python and javascript. Is this issue still something that needs
fixing? I have cross platform code for multi-level recursively generated
pulldown menus that degrade properly using a combination of javascript,
css, and python to generate them. 

As to what we should do with the site, I highly recommend looking into
turbogears or pylons. ( Or django, but I jumped ship to gears ).

I would be happy to help out with this David. Hit me off list if you are
interested.

It's not too hard to make sure the whole screen grows down to accomadate
max size menus, but doing it right will mean that the entire html/css
layout has to be set up properly in the first place.  I use MochiKit for
cross-platform DOM/CSS manipulation, it is truly a developers goldmine.
