The difference between DIR, MENU and normal ULists has always been its content. If you want to automatically evaluate documents and for example search for all docs containing DIRs or extract these DIRs, this job will be hard to fulfill if you just have ULs, where the tag says nothing about its content. That's why I think it has been the right choice to have these tags in Cougar (in my opinion not only for backwards compatibility). Please comment on this. I am always here to learn.
