Did you notice anything different about the top navigation menu or crumbtrail on this site?

If not, look more carefully and (javascript permitting) you'll see a crumbtrail with drop down submenus on some of the crumbs.

So what are your first impressions? Did you understand it straight away? If not, did you see either a crumbtrail or a menu system or was it so confusing that it's a miracle you even managed to find this article? Have you seen something similar before that may have influenced your understanding of the concept?

The rest of the article discusses this idea in a lot more detail and some experience of web design might be helpful to get the most out of it but I'm keen to hear everyone's comments, not just the more technical visitor so don't feel obliged to read and understand the main content before you let me know what you think.
