Comment (by westonruter):

 In [attachment:34923.2.customize-posts.diff] I removed the ability to add
 new nav menu items for taxonomy terms; this is due to there not being any
 facility to create “auto-draft” taxonomy terms that will get garbage-
 collected if they don't get promoted. We can revisit that later I think.

 But more importantly, this patch adds integration with the the Customize
 Posts plugin so that when you add a nav menu item for a post, page, or
 other CPT, it will actually create an auto-draft and link the nav menu
 item to it. You are able to navigate to the newly-created auto-draft post
 that is linked to in the nav menu.

 This depends on some Customize Posts code that is currently in a pull
 request pending merge. @valendesigns has been the major contributor here.
 The key JS API from Customize Posts is the
 `wp.customize.Posts.insertAutoDraftPost()` function. Customize Posts also
 provides the PHP filters for ensuring that the auto-draft post will be
 accessible in the preview, and also so that the auto-draft will be
 transitioned to a publish status when the Customizer state is saved.
 (Customize Posts also allows you to edit the actual auto-draft post/page
 itself, including the title, content, and other fields, but this post
 editing functionality is out of scope for this ticket.)
