 Replying to [comment:100 ryan]:
 > Two avoid the two new tables, there have been suggestions of using a
 custom post type. The posts table has most of what we need. It has title,
 content/description, menu order, parentage.  And the existing posts
 functions could be leveraged.  Top-level items (those without a parent)
 would be the equivalent of custom_nav_menus. Items within those menus
 would have parent fields that point back to them.

 It sounds good in theory, but -1 on that idea. Menus are 1) not a post
 type, and 2) shouldn't be in the wp_posts table regardless.
