Comment:

 I apologize if this is not the right place for this feedback, as it might
 not be UI related, but I'm a little confused about getting around trac.

 Can the menus tie into Theme Development better?  For example, if I build
 a theme that has some tabs across the top, and another place with some
 buttons, and I'd like the Menu system to control what pages/posts/links
 appear in each of these menus, I run into a lot of trouble.  How do I know
 what menu is supposed to go where?

 I could require that if they want a menu to show up as Tabs, they need to
 name it Tabs.  But that seems like a pretty poor idea.

 I'd like my theme to be able to, say, register 2 menus.  One of which is
 always displayed by my theme in one place, and another in another place.
 This doesn't really seem very easy to do with the current plan, especially
 in a MultiSite setup where I'm not building each blog.

 Does this make sense?
 Should it have gone somewhere else?
 Is there already a good solution I just don't know? (crosses fingers)
