 > 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?

 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.

 Check if the menu exists.  If not, create it:

 {{{
 if ( !is_nav_menu( 'super-duper' ) )
         wp_create_nav_menu( __( 'Super Duper' ), array( 'slug' => 'super-
 duper' ) );
 }}}

 Then, call that specific menu in your templates:

 {{{
 wp_nav_menu( array( 'menu' => 'super-duper' ) );
 }}}

 This is basically the same thing you'd do with creating sidebars for your
 theme.
