 In 21349.patch:

 - The main improvement is the HTML structure of the menu. It is simplified
 a lot. Now the items are:
 {{{
 <li.menu-top>
   <a>
     <div.wp-menu-arrow">
     <div.wp-menu-image">
     <div.wp-menu-name">
   </a>
   <ul.wp-submenu>
     <li>
     <li>
     ....
   </ul>
 </li>
 }}}

 - Visibly there are no changes to the fly-outs or to how the menu
 functions.
 - The fly-outs when the menu is folded have been moved few pixels away
 from the icons so the click targets are a bit larger and their "headers"
 are clickable.
 - Few minor visual glitches are fixed.

 The CSS and HTML is back-compat for adding or replacing menu icons and
 hiding (with JS or CSS) of menu and submenu items.
