Well, technically it draws the menu bar pattern. But that's simply an
implementation detail and only true for 10.4. The SystemUIServer
draws *one* status item. It then places the menu extra views inside
this *one* status item. This status item is drawn with the other
status items other applications may put up.
The menus in an application (File, Edit, View, et cetera) are all
submenus of one root menu (call AcquireRootMenu() to get it). There's
also some other special stuff the menu manager does for some specific
items.

That is technically correct. I don't think the UIServer actually
*draws* a menubar though, since the applications menubar covers the
whole screen width. Also, from the Accessibility API's view, the
status items don't seem to be a part of any menubar at all. They are
just placed on top of it.
