Ah, indeed. Yes, I agree my definition was too broad, I was just trying to show that <menubar> and <context-menu> and <toolbar> et al were all the same thing, not so much trying to come up with an actual definition of menus. :-) (My definition actually came from The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, fwiw.) > The feature of ribbon I was specifically thinking of was the way chunks > collapse when space isn't available.

There isn't any reason <menu> couldn't be implemented this way, though; the document just gives the semantics not the presentation. Something to consider when writing up the Rendering section of the spec, though, and in a CSS context. > More information on this aspect of ribbon here: > http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2005/10/18/482233.aspx Thanks, will look at this. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
