Comment(by filosofo):
It's great to see the interest in this ticket. I think rather than
getting caught up in too many details too soon, we should start with the
big picture.[[br]]
It seems to me that there are 4 somewhat distinct areas of menu
functionality:[[br]]
* ''Admin UI experience'': how the user determines the structure of her
menu.
* ''Menu logic'': how the menu data is stored and the algorithms that
determine things like the current active menu item and whether certain
sub-menu items should be active.
* ''Final markup'': how the menu is rendered (a list, or nested divs,
etc.)
* ''Styling and behavior'': CSS and JavaScript affecting menu markup.
(In my opinion these are best left to the theme.)
[[br]]
Considering those areas, how would you answer the following questions?
[[br]]
* ''What do you think users typically want?''
* ''What are the best menu plugins doing and why?''
* ''What do you see as the thorniest problems you'd like to solve?''
