You could probably add JSON input. This could be achived by adding a
textarea input to which one could simply copy&paste some data and which
would normally be changed with JS. So when JS would be available you
could simply hide the input.

* Show in which languages each menu item is available and allow one to
quickly add more language versions.
* Show current user language by default and allow to view other
version (e.g. in tooltip).
* Move items or branches (whole submenu) up or down and between branches.
* Allow users to compose their own menu and save it in their preferences.
* Allow adding JS calls to each item (preferably with a fallback page
- when JS is not available).
* Ability to change position of special menus (e.g. languages and
toolbox).
* Each submenu should have "defaults to visible" true/false attribute
(e.g. languages are visible by default when no cookie is set).
* Each menu item should have a changeable id attribute e.g. "p-lang"
for language menu. This should probably only be available in some
advanced mode (as changing id would break some existing scripts).
* Ability to add/change access keys for items (also probably in
advanced mode).
Cheers,
Nux.
