 Yes, exactly. I don't use the HMENU, because I would then have to use a 
template and have to define
a submarker. Setting a submarker at a specific page corrupts the whole idea.
 I /have to/ go though a content-element, as these can be 
set/ordered/maintained in a flexible way.

 But what do you mean by: "It's just a TypoScript element that will 
render HTML elements on a per page basis"? There is no TypoScript 
'content-element' in that I can sink a HMENU.

 Classic templates.

 Well, it's not about in-front-of, I could hack the specific HMENU 
everywhere, but just in a fixed way.
And it's dirty. This 'menu/sitemap' I want is a 'page-content' with all 
it's advantages, it just has to look
different.
