Yes, it does.
But a reader of this menu-syntax node
won't have a clue about that. Please
provide a cross-reference to it.
Defining menus is one of the first
places a new Elisp user will run into
dot-notation syntax.
Another is the complex syntax for
font-lock. There too a reader will
need to understand dot notation to
make sense of the syntax spec.

That's too bad.
