This is a 'too early' post as HTML5 <nav> nor <menu> aren't really supported yet in any major browsers.
So, we are speculating about how browsers might interpret these elements. You can read the HTML5 spec and see what is says about those tags, but at the end of the day browser implementation is going to dictate what is right or wrong. For now I would strongly suggest not putting either in your code, as you are simply adding bloat which serves no purpose whatsoever (until browsers start implementing these tags). Focus on the code which is going to deliver some value to your UI.
