One of the goals for the new HIG is to try and avoiding spoon-feeding
people too much, and I'd prefer to avoid listing every possible thing
you might want to include in that menu. In that sense, this bug is an
interesting test case for the guidelines.

In general I would say that they indicate that those items shouldn't
be in the app menu, since they "are specific to a particular window or
view", but I'd be interested to hear how other people would interpret
this based on the draft guidelines, and whether they consider them to
be useful enough.
