Hey Patrick,
I don't think you can completely replace your action sets with
o.e.ui.menus extensions, unfortunately. See
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=tree&th=158101 &S=1fc4c39640675e1c88c920e4dc4304b0#page_top
for some context. I think the documentation for o.e.ui.menus gives the
false impression that this should be possible and should be corrected.
Is there any reason you can't use action sets to accomplish what you
need to?

Patrick, you probably figured it out by now :-P but just in case:
You can handle initial visibility by watching a system property in
visibleWhen (using systemTest). Or you can create a property tester and
use that to watch a preference setting (using test in visibleWhen). On
the editing side, you'd have to either modify the perspective
customization dialog to incorporate o.e.ui.menus contributions (which is
what the Platform should have done in the first place), maybe some
specially marked ones, or just create your own dialog or preference page
to do this.
