I wouldn't say that's a workaround - I'd say that's the correct way to
do it!  Well, modulo the "main-navbar" thing; it would be better to
give each navbar "module" its own id.  I don't understand why you're
special-casing the categories/locales - surely people are just as
likely to want to style other elements of the navbar as they are to
want to style these particular elements.  But anyway, yes, I'll move
them into the navbar, if this is the only reason you left them out.

Bob (um, or was it doop?  One of them, anyway) suggested that we could
move to using YAML instead of Config::Tiny.
