Sorry, I wanted to give you a glimpse of what you'll be able to do with V3 and I just added confusion to the discussion. <menuBar>, <menuItems>, etc, are all part of the XML vocabulary specifying the GUI of XXE *V3*.

This will work no matter which type of document is opened in the XML editor. That is, your Characters menu will be added to the GUI of XXE V3 just like the File, Select, Edit, etc, menus are. This works because your Characters menu only contains generic commands (insertString) and not commands which are specific to DocBook (e.g. docb.tableColumn, doc.toggleInformal, etc). For this, your Characters menu will have to be removed from your customization of the DocBook configuration, will have to be rewritten using the XML vocabulary specifying the GUI of XXE V3 and will have to be put in a file called custom.xxe_gui.
