Part / Menus / Menu where does it go? [message #991379]

I realized a sample application where I have a part which features all types of menus; Menu, View Menu and Popup Menu. I can see where View Menu and Popup Menu go, but what about Menu?

For further explanation see the following screenshot:

This is an excerpt of the e4xmi concerning the menus:

<menus xmi:id="_nJDGcEp8EeKswI6QNEvr1w" elementId="at.descher.eclipse.bug396971.menu.0">
<children xsi:type="menu:DirectMenuItem" xmi:id="_o5P4wEp8EeKswI6QNEvr1w" elementId="directmenuitem.0"/>
</menus>
<menus xsi:type="menu:PopupMenu" xmi:id="_np5JsEp8EeKswI6QNEvr1w" elementId="popupmenu.0">
<children xsi:type="menu:DirectMenuItem" xmi:id="_pLp3YEp8EeKswI6QNEvr1w" elementId="at.descher.eclipse.bug396971.popupmenu.directmenuitem.1"/>
</menus>
<menus xmi:id="_n_UnIEp8EeKswI6QNEvr1w" elementId="viewmenu.1">
<tags>ViewMenu</tags>
<children xsi:type="menu:DirectMenuItem" xmi:id="_peIugEp8EeKswI6QNEvr1w"
elementId="at.descher.eclipse.bug396971.viewmenu.directmenuitem.2"/>
</menus>

As one can see the only difference of Menu and ViewMenu is the <tag>. Is the default menu formally defined to be used in other renderers eg JavaFX? Would it be possible to remove the tag <tag>ViewMenu</tag> and simply accept the default menu as the ViewMenu?

I never really understood why this tag was needed but I think only Paul
and Eric can really answer this.
