I think the differences between JHS and jqt are so pervasive that it does not necessarily make sense to have forced similarities. If the menu actions were the same, the next step would be to have the page be the same and this is not possible. A concern for JHS was to have menu items as short and simple as possible so that they'd fit on small screens.
