For the markup a menu in the toolbar state was used. However, the section about native ARIA semantics describes that it's not possible to change the semantics of a menu in the toolbar state to menubar. So the menu element example used a menu in toolbar state to mark up a menubar. But then you're not allowed to set the right semantics. Maybe you could introduce a menubar state of the menu element or just allow the use of ARIA's menubar role on the menu element.

Rationale: As Ian explained in <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17945#c1>: > A menu used for a context menu is rendered natively by the UA, not > inline in the page, so ARIA is not relevant (you don't end up looking > at the DOM nodes with the AT, you look at the native control > directly).
