Hmmm, this is a pretty good idea.  I can also see how to use this so
that we have only authorized actions appear in the header.  So I'll think 
about this, even though it means adding more pages (and indirection)
to the distribution.  However, I'm not sure I like "PageTopMenu" 
and "PageFootMenu" -- seems like we might want to call them something 
else.
