This is unfortunate. Is it really impossible to define the menu in a 
useful way for both (all) platforms by attaching some information to the 
menu tags or using abstract tags (like copy-menu) ?

BTW: Mozilla uses "overlays" to do things like this. You define a common 
UI for all platforms and then apply an "overlay" which can redefine 
things, add/remove things, etc.
