I agree this would be ideal if possible with a flyout menu. However you
would have to avoid frustrating users who are actually trying to make the
menu collapse by moving the mouse away from the menu. Perhaps you could
do this by in some way shading the "tolerance zone" so the user knows
what's going on.
Whether or not this is acheivable is another question which I'm not
experienced enough to answer... but I'd be suitably impressed!

the mayor problem I have with this sort of menu is that I move the mouse
pointer to the desired level in a direct line, i.e.
(right menu, tested in FF)
Products -> Legal *->* Inquiries, but the menu collapses on that way.
I learn, I have to go indirectly:
Products -> Legal -> [Disclaimers]-> Inquiries, but my learning curve is
still bad:
.... -> Inquiries -> Case Histories *->* Related Documents (oops, again
in a direct line ... )
For me, a better learning curve would be provided by a menu where each
level would have an invisible "tolerance hover zone" beyond the last
entry, which allows my trembling mouse driving device (hand) to move in
a straight line.
