I thought I was on this mailing list before and now I can see there's a
lot of traffic I missed (I thought it was just a very quiet list).
Anyway, I hope I successfully registered for it this time...
Let me introduce myself, I'm Mike Engber and I work in the Cocoa group.
Here's a sampling of what you can blame me for:
- What Cocoa returns via the Accessibility APIs. Note that sometimes
Cocoa really passes the buck to Carbon and blindly hands back whatever
Carbon says (e.g. for Menus)
- What you need to do in order to make your Cocoa app accessible (e.g.
get your custom widgets working with accessibility)
- A large part of the design of the Accessibility APIs themselves.
- The current economic downturn.

So, I apologize again for not being on this list earlier and possibly
answering some past q's.

As to the topic at hand. If a child lists a UI element as its parent
then the parent should have that UI element in its children attribute.
If you've found to the contrary, please file a bug if you haven't
already. I can't really speak to what's going on in the case of menus,
it sounds like a bug.
I can say that in the Cocoa world we rely on this symmetry. If you
create some widget and violate this - you can really mess things up.
One way I've seen this happen
