I feel the following statement for the third bullet of step 2,

menu.
is contradicting the statement of step 3
Remove any submenu with no label, or whose label is the empty string,
in the menu or any submenus.
My understanding from the first statement is that the any child menu
(submenu) with no label attribute should be flattened. But the
subsequent statement implies removal of whole submenu.
It's important not to confuse a child menu element with an actual
submenu in the constructed menu. (This is similar to the difference
between a section and a section.)
There are two concepts here. Elements, including menu and menuitem,
are your regular DOM element node. Pop-up menus, on the other hand, are
lists of zero or more menu items, and menu items are commands, separators,
and recursively other pop-up menus.
When you have a child menu element with no label attribute, no submenu
is created. The child menu items are inserted directly into the parent
menu. So when it comes to the second statement quoted above, there's no
submenu to remove. The second statement above could get triggered for
something like menu label= (an empty label).
I've tweaked the wording a bit to try to make this clearer. In particular
I've made the terminology less ambiguous.
