and access control to the appliction. Yes, it's more than a menu, but
I don't find it to be fully fledged "controller" either. And calling it a
controller sort of hints incorrectly at that it does more than you'd think.

of menu innapropriate enough or feel that the other replacement terms
communicate more to a new developer. Menu is close enough.

<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"><FONT face=Arial>It's true, but
hook_menu is, after all, dealing with paths and links.</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"><FONT face=Arial>Paths and links
are what allows us to navigate inside a site, and they are commonly combined in
a menu.</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"><FONT face=Arial>If we checked it
statistically, I'm sure we would have found that most of the items in the menu
hook are not actually visible as menu items, but when thinking of a menu i a
larger context, we find it's not at all a bad name.</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"><FONT face=Arial>A menu is a
representation of a site's structure, whether it's a logical structure, or a
more physic one. So in this way - even if an item is not visible, it's still
part of the structure, and as a result - has its place in the menu.</FONT></P>
