Tom,

I tried many months ago to do the same (although my script was not as fine as yours ;-)) -- and then my clients asked for a +/- so that the text you use as an open/close control could feature a traditional link to this-or-that page.

So, for those who are looking for a variant, here's something that looks promising:
http://inspire.server101.com/js/xc/

It does quite the same as yours, while freeing the text from being a control. The +/- controls are added through DOM insert methods, thus it's quite configurable.

I haven't used it in production environment but plan on doing so (soon, hopefully).
