<menuitem label="Oranges" type="check" instanceName="buyOranges"
selected="false" />
<menuitem label="Bananas" type="check" instanceName="buyBananas"

instanceName="center_item"/>
<menuitem type="separator" />
<menuitem label="Top"
<menuitem label="Bottom" type="radio" groupName="alignment_group" />
