Well, regardless of whether there are other apps that disable an entire menu (thanks, Richard, for the HIG post, btw), the fact is that Rev allows you to do it, and the results are inconsistent under OS X for the Edit menu (and probably the Help menu too, I'd suspect). So either Rev shouldn't allow the disabling of an entire menu, or it should at least be consistent, IMHO.
