Feh! Drop-downs are a sub-optimal solution, because you have to go to each button to find out what it offers. Not to mention the problem with implementation not necessarily rendering in all browsers.

Trust me, I've been down that road designing the CC26 site and content management system. I had the argument several times with certain staffers who were insistent proponents of dynamic/dropdown menus. Having run into their failings many times, I had no interest in adding that complication to our site.

The WFC content management system, on the other hand, is based in WordPress, as opposed to the roll-your-own system we had to develop for CC26.
The style of the buttons is determined by cascading style sheet; I don't know if the webmaster can specify a separate button element for the submenu/breadcrumb appearing at the top of the content section.
