The layout we designed was for communities. In that case there was a section of a site (Communities) and a sub-section (Some Community.) The community had multiple tools (Blog, etc.) Each of those tools had might have the final resource, thus the resource title.

Other sections of the site have a not-so-deep hierarchy. For example, the PEOPLE tab, which contains tabs for each defined report section (OSF, Network, Foundations, All KARL.) Each report has two pages: an overview with shows all the reports in that tab/section, then a page for the report itself.

This doesn't lend itself well to the old layout nor the new layout. In the old layout, we had People -> People, then a tab ("OSF") and the full name of the tab ("Open Society Foundations") in the resource title area.

In the new, we'd put the triangle under the People site menu item, then People again just underneath. Then list the report sections (OSF, Network, etc.) Then perhaps say that again.

Denys is going to play with some ideas. This is probably the biggest next thing for him to sort out. If needed, I can provide some other examples of oddball screens that don't fit. (search results, feeds, profile pages)
