Well, this is an interesting idea, and one I know a lot of us have been
poking at from time to time.  

In a recent response to the mess of menu's, RedHog (previously
Mandrakesoft guy, now JamtLinux, www.jamtlinux.org)   approached me with
a tool to manage/interoperate with menus.

http://www.jamtlinux.org/software/cookmenus/

Its written in pyton, and parses the freedesktop input formats and will
work with ouputting theese into compatible formats. 

Supposedly its working, and could well be extended to match better if
need be.
