I think the problem with the menu *element* was that no browsers rendered it differently from UL, even though the original specification hinted that it should be rendered compatibly with the user of very short items (as such it is semi-presentational. Although a lot of pages used menus like: [ item | item | item ] the lack of a rendering somewhat like this mean that they did it by ad hoc means instead and menu was almost entirely unused in the wild.
