If I'm following, the only difference is that you have the two nodes as siblings (same level) versus parent/child. You can do that through configuration without the need to customize the code or properties.

To configure the nav:

1. From the site, click Site Actions, select Site Settings
2. Under the Look and Feel group, click the Navigation link
3. Under the Navigation Editing and Sorting area, configure the navigation.

You can organize the nodes as desired, and add additional top level headings as desired.
