Sometimes the best method to answer my question is to try it out a
little bit. I was worrying menus could be one of the biggest problem
(menus = navigation) and now what? After I try it a bit, it is a worry.
It's difficult to highlight the current level in the navigation bar with
static design.
The old school method to highlight current page in navigation is:
1) include the navigation bar from SSI.
2) use something like this in CSS:
#about_us .nav .about_us { /* highlight it here*/...
This method seems apply with difficulty for highlighting current level.
See my article I wrote about this issue just now:

I still couldn't find a way to simplify it, but maybe the wisdom on this
group helps...
