There's more than one possible direction for a solution to this
problem, but it's not a TYPO3 problem until after you've decided how
to solve it :)

Confused yet? What I mean is that TYPO3 just produces HTML; it's up to
you to decide how this should best be done using HTML and CSS. After
that, we can advise you about the most efficient way to convince TMENU
to build the markup you need...
