Not trying to knock your idea or anything--sounds quite interesting in its own 
way--but it seems a bit complicated for the end user.  And I'm not sure it's 
going to be all that useful.

My impression is that people are very attached to their choice of menu style.  
NeXT fans probably won't ever want to dock their menu upstairs.  And those who 
slant toward the Apple way of doing things wouldn't want to have to go to the 
trouble of docking their menus.

Both groups would probably want to set a system or user default to one or the 
other and just leave it that way.  And I suppose themes should provide artwork 
for both.
