Then you'll just have to patch the menu software you use. Problem solved. Please don't expect have kludges in a standard just because you've made promises to your customers you cannot keep, or have historical baggage. That might be how the Single Unix Specification has been handled (the amount of backwards compatibility for insane things, mainly through XSI, is frightening), and how Microsoft wants to handle document standards, but it's not a sane way to handle things. What you're asking for is a kludge that has no technical merit. Regards.
