In the typical case of multi-level menus, collapsing is purely a user
interface issue. It should not be represented in the HTML.
The advantage of being able to style nested lists as menus is that the
fully expanded list, as one gets without CSS or with browsers that don't
implement the feature, still produces a sensible structure for making
the selection.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
