Other information
Please see whatwg/html#11729 and https://open-ui.org/components/menu.explainer/ for descriptions of the proposal. In short, we propose introducing three new elements: <menubar>, <menulist>, and <menuitem> that compose together with anchor positioning, popovers, and some hover-triggering mechanism (possibly Interest Invokers, but we are unsure just yet). The menus support a keyboard interaction model with sensible default derived from menu applications across operating systems, a survey of top sites, and the menubar APG pattern, and a few other features that are commonly found on menus, such as type-ahead menu item selection.
