well, to be precise, select=VALUE where VALUE is the ID of an item in a
sub-navbar,
   which is
    a) mentioned as menu= in the paren navbar
    b) defined (i.e.#included  in the source of files appearing in that
submenu)

originally I had all navbars and sub-navbars in one file for the whole
site, but that takes longer to wmk and also has a global "namespace" for
item IDs. We have lots of submenus with similar structure and I want to be
able to use different items in different directories (-> submenus) with
identical names.

I learned this (after much poking around in the dark) in the second (more
complicated) example in the wml::des::navbar documentation.
