I was afraid of this question. For instance, Copy and Paste are functions that 
all controls with editing feature provide by default and implicitely. I have 
no idea for a better wording.

My argumenation in menu bar includes an example. Let's define a menu with 'Burn 
CD, Burn DVD, Burn hologram'. I don't have the hardware to burn a hologram so 
please don't bother me with the (of course disabled) information.
