I would prefer not to add a series of submenus to the left navigation.  First, it would make it so that the Page Order tool and other ways that left navigation is controlled/updated/maintained would have no control over these submenu items.

Also if you look at both Blackboard Learn and Moodle, they both have slowly added complexity to their left navigation to the point where their left navigation is pretty intimidating.  I would prefer not to slide down that slippery slope.

Of course - you can patch your own Sakai in any way you like.
