im looking at xul right now, and it may make sense to use the xul
syntax for menu definitions, even if we do not currently plan to
render the menu in xul. advantage: you can use tools like xulmaker
to design your menus in a gui editor, and we can later use more
of xul where it makes sense. we could add in a lenya namespace for the
urls:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<overlay id="menuoverlay"

xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
         xmlns:lenya="http://www.lenya.org/2003/menu"
         xmlns:xsp="somethingoranother">

  <menubar id="lenya-menu">
    <menu id="file-menu" label="File">
      <menupopup id="file-popup">
        <menu id="new-menu" label="New">
          <menupopup id="new-popup">
            <menuitem label="Site"/>
            <menuseparator/>
            <menuitem label="Article">

<lenya:href>publish.html?page=<xsp:expr>headlinesUri</xsp:expr></lenya:href>
            </menuitem>
            <menuitem label="Folder"/>
            <menuitem label="File"/>
            <menuitem label="Image"/>
          </menupopup>
        </menu>
        <menuitem label="Connect" key="close-key"
command="sitesmanager.connectSelectedSite();"/>
        <menuitem label="Disconnect" key="quit-key"/>
        <menuseparator/>
        <menuitem label="Quit" key="quit-key"
command="menu-file-close:command" />
      </menupopup>
    </menu>

    <menu id="edit-menu" label="Edit">
      <menupopup id="edit-popup">
        <menuitem label="Undo"/>
        <menuitem label="Redo"/>
        <menuseparator/>
        <menuitem label="Copy"/>
        <menuitem label="Cut"/>
        <menuitem label="Paste"/>
        <menuseparator/>
        <menuitem label="Preferences"/>
      </menupopup>
    </menu>
  </menubar>

</overlay>
