I thought about it, and decided it wasn't worth the effort.  If you want to
nest menus, just include them one within the other.

This is how an include works:

<menu id="debian-menu" label="debian">
  <file>/etc/X11/openbox/openbox-menu.xml</file>
</menu>

and then inside the root menu, just use the declared identifier:

<menu id="root-menu" label="mwilson @ rei">
  <menu id="debian-menu" />
</menu>

Of course, you can include whatever else you want in your root menu besides
the Debian one (or not include the Debian one at all, if you don't use
Debian ^_^ ).

If you want to nest them:

<menu id="apps-menu" label="applications">
  <menu id="bottlerocket-menu" label="bottle rocket">
    <menu id="couch-menu" label="couch">
      <item label="on">
        <action name="execute"><execute>br a3 on</execute></action>
      </item>
      <item label="off">
        <action name="execute"><execute>br a3 off</execute></action>
      </item>
    </menu>
  </menu>
</menu>

Kind of contrived, but it should get you going.
