Maven site collapsable menus

I have been trying to create expandable/collapsable menus on my maven generated
site, but have been unable to do so.  I have not used a navigation.xml file, as
recommended in the documentation at http://maven.apache.org/site.html, but have
just put the menu in my site.xml.  I have tried the following, but with very
weird results - normally, when I click on the bottom link of the top collapsable
menu, the bottom menu disappears.
 
My site.xml looks something like:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<site>
  <bannerLeft>
    <name>Stack</name>
    <src>http://blah/blah.gif</src>
    <href>http://blah.org/</href>
  </bannerLeft>
  <bannerRight>
    <src>http://blah/blah/blahblah.jpg</src>
  </bannerRight>
  <body>
 
    <menu name="Stack">
     <item name="Projects Used" href="/" collapse="true">
      <item name="Maven" href="maven.html" collapse="true"/>
   <item name="JPA" href="jpa.html" collapse="true"/>
   <item name="Spring Framework" href="spring.html" collapse="true"/>
   <item name="JSF-RI" href="jsf.html" collapse="true"/>
   <item name="Facelets" href="facelets.html" collapse="true"/>
   <item name="Acegi Security" href="acegi.html" collapse="true"/>
  </item>
  <item name="Internal Resources" href="/" collapse="true">
      <item name="Template Library" href="ui.html" collapse="true"/>
      <item name="Downloads" href="downloads.html" collapse="true"/>
     </item>
    </menu>
    
    ${modules}
 
    ${reports}
 
  </body>
</site>
 
In short, I have three main questions:
1.Is there a bug in the maven site collapse/expand stuff, or am I just doing
something wrong?
2.Do I have to specify a valid value in the surrounding item's href, or since I
want it only to expand or collapse, and not display a different page when I
click on say Projects Used, or Internal Resources, in my example, would my tag
<item name="Projects Used" href="/"> be valid?
3.Do you have to specify an expand and collapse attribute, if you want it to do
both?
 
Thanks.  I appreciate very much how sweet maven is.  I don't think the time
savings we have gained by using maven is even calculable, it is so large, and
this automatic site generation is just the icing on the cake.
