Comment (by mbijon):

 Nested sets are one name for recursive models with left & right ranges,
 plus possibly a depth column:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_set_model. There are a number of
 places that could make things more-efficient. Menus are one, comments are
 probably another. The downside is either new tables or violating your item
 #10 about extra fields in rows, and loads of new model code.

 I'm surprised you didn't mention collisions in $priority for
 add_menu_page(). It's frustrating that we don't have a stack that can
 handle overlapping priorities.

 Regardless, seems like a set of tickets to cover these and a bunch of
 small commits might at least refactor the API enough that a schema change
 could work. I'd help with some of those before trying to code a new
 schema.
