I agree with you in the case of a registered menu, but when it is being dynamically assembled I think there are some cases where a developer does not want the menu to display.

I had such a need. I tried just not setting the "items" but I ended up getting a 1 pixel high menu (no error was raised). I can explain my use case further if you want... Just not from my phone :)
