Rendering recursive sections

<f:section name="mySection">
   <ul>
        <f:for each="{myMenu}" as="menuItem">
             <li>
               {menuItem.text}
               <f:if condition="{menuItem.subItems}">
                   <f:render section="mySection" arguments="{myMenu: menuItem.subItems}" />
               </f:if>
             </li>
        </f:for>
   </ul>
</f:section>
<f:render section="mySection" arguments="{myMenu: menu}" />

    <li>menu1
        <ul>
            <li>menu1a</li>
