Request to update the spec for the roles menu and menubar

Hi,
I've noticed that the roles in the Roles Model document for menu and menubar don't actually state that referenced children are required to include role=menuitem, role=menuitemcheckbox, or role=menuitemradio.

http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#menu
http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#menubar

As a result, I keep seeing developers doing the following:

<ul role="menu">
<li>
<a href="whatever1"> One </a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="whatever2"> Two </a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="whatever3"> Three </a>
</li>
</ul>

Which doesn't work right.

Can the spec be updated to indicate this requirement?

All the best,
Bryan
