applications.menu is the entry point for everything that ends up in the menu. If you want to have a desktop-specific menu I would add code that selects a file other than applications.menu as a starting point. Then what you will or will not get in your menu will depend on what you put in that other .menu file.
The idea here is that a desktop would use (kde for example) files or directories that started with either "applications" or "kde-", and if it found a file: "kde-applications.menu" that it would ignore the file: "applications.menu". This appears to be necessary since KDE and GNOME both install a file: "applications.menu" and they are have very different menu structure.
The proposal does not mean that you would have to use separate menu files for different desktops, it is only a standard for how to do it if you want to do so.
