Ok, so my personal opinion is what I already mentioned.

If we add support for <a>, <button>, <select>, etc, then <menuitem> is useless.
Otherwise <menuitem> is much easier to use.

So the question is, do we want to support existing elements ?

It seems that implementation in webkit got lower prioritty, they are not
actively working on it.
