Hi all. I'm a non-pro developer concerned with making standard-compliant and semantically understandable pages. I'm going to integrate my web app with a toolbar panel for text formatting commands. That is, I'm going to require a container for a series of javascript-powered button-like controls. In a theoretical world I would certainly use <menu type="toolbar"> (or simply <menu> as the toolbar state is the missing value default for that case). Unfortunately this is the real world. So I cannot follow ideals. In this case my <menu> requires no particular support from UAs. Nonetheless I'm afraid this could be dismissed from standards, due to lack of support to its ideal use case (i.e. context menu). So I'd like to ask to someone more expert: - how likely is it to see <menu> remain on the spec? - if this element is not to be used, what is the best (i.e. most used) semantically-valid way to mark up a toolbar? Thanks for your advice.
