 Nothing is stored in the options table.
 The only reason menus are taxonomy is because menu_items are currently
 stored as posts.
 Have you had a look at the options table recently?

 The schema it very poor, thats what I am trying to get at. Please explain
 how classing a menu_item as a post type helps? And how many of the
 wp_posts fields actually apply to menu_items? While we're at it we might
 as well place all widget instances in wp_posts because really the have
 more right to be there as the often actually have content.


 Berate me all you like about whether or not this is the valid forum to air
 my views, however with development on this issue so intense right now I
 feel this is the perfect place to discuss something which I feel is of
 great importance.
