Variations
This list type is often rendered identically to UL.
RFC 1866 states that while similar to the UL element,
MENU is typically rendered in a more compact manner.
The COMPACT attribute of the UL element is more often used than
this MENU element.
The exclusion in RFC 1866 of group block within MENU implies
(among other things) that MENU can contain no nested lists,
nor any paragraphs even though the LI element normally would allow this.
Some browsers do not enforce this exclusion.
The LANG and DIR attributes are introduced with the
internationalization proposal.
The internationalization proposal also includes
ALIGN=center|left|right|justify
By adding the PLAIN attribute to eliminate the bullets to the
element, Version 3 proposes to remove the MENU element.
All list elements are Level 0.
