In general, avoid using element names for displayed data (e.g. for text
that a user would see), as you may later want markup inside a menu
title, perhaps for translation into Japanese or Chinese ("ruby").
<menu-structure>
<menu id="programs">
<name xml:lang="fr">Programmes</name>
<name xml:lang="en-US">Programs</name>
<menu id="utilities">
<name xml:lang="en">Utilities</name>
</menu>
</menu>
</menu-structure>
<program>
<category ref="utilities" />
<name xml:lang="fr">Ordinateur</name>
<command platform="unix" ui="gnome">gnome-calculator</command>
</program>
However, before you do this, take a look at http://www.freedesktop.org/
where there is already a definition for menu entries that's shared by
a number of desktops including KDE and Gnome.
(why the user would care which menu entries are implemented by
"programs" and which by some other sort of thing I don't know!)
