looks as if there was some misunderstanding. I am strongly in favour of 
such a change. If there is sufficent difference between these cases 
split them up!
What I don't like is, that you came up with a new protocoll for 
NSMenuView, which is not there in MacOSX nor Openstep and which is also 
not required for this change, as both classes will have the superclass 
NSMenuView.
