It's now something like:
<menu type="toolbar">
<li>
<p>File:</p>
<menu label="File">
<li><button type="button" onclick="fnew()">New...</button></li>
(The <p> element is any block-level content, it's ignored in HTML5 UAs.)

I agree that neither method quoted above is good.

I considered that. I think it is better to use an attribute on the <menu>,
though, because in practice I think it's likely that most cases of
fallback will want slightly different text (e.g. different punctuation)
than you would want in a menu (e.g. "File:" vs "File...").
