The little image stays there when you have JavaScript switched off, 
or when your browser does not support JavaScript, or when your 
browser does not support the type of JavaScript that your script 
requires. It would be better to have the button rendered by a 
JavaScript, one that tests for the presence of the 
document.getElementById function. 

Also, for some reason that script seems to break the continuance of 
the left column in browsers that do not support JavaScript or have it 
switched off (I tested this in a recent Opera, which has very 
convenient Quick Preferences for this).

I cannot say I am happy with this. Is this design conform DRC's 
original design? What does he think about this?

To me, the indentation seems to suggest a sort of hierarchical 
structure. If that's the case, why not take out the menu items that 
are lower in the hierarchy entirely? And if it's not the case, why 
suggest it?
