I see a problem here: what if I wrote something like this:
action=ACTION1
item="My first item

action=ACTION2
item="My second item"

It would probably result in the first item using ACTION2 and the second item 
to have no action at all (and ACTION1 beeing ignored). So I'd rather do 
something like:

[menu 0]
[item "Text to display"]
action=ACTION2

[item "Another text"]
action=ACTION3

Or some other notion, but at least having a (visible) mark that we are now 
starting an item section.

C'ya,
