Possible to have different navigational levels?

I finally got my base template configured, along with my funky CSS, to make the fly-out menus that my designer put together work correctly. However, I also have a third level of navigation that lives in a totally different area of the page, and I'm not sure how to address it. I have several issues.

1) How to make the CMS List Menu (what seems to be the most easily CSS-customizable menu control) read only the 3rd-level items for this branch

2) How to make the individual ul be labeled something OTHER than MenuElem

Can anyone help, please? This design, unfortunately, does not have much wiggle room for me, so I've got to figure this out somehow.

RE:Possible to have different navigational levels?

If the 3rd level of navigation is a simple list (no nested lists) then a simple fix would be to use the Repeater webpart. You need to make your own transformation for the Page (menu item) document type that basically spits out:

"<li><%# GetDocumentLink() %></li>"

Then you select the transformation when you are configuring the Repeater. Does that make sense?
