The freedesktop.org menu draft do not mandate a menu layout. Instead it mandate a list of categories that should be used by .menu files to build menus, the .menu files specifying the layout and the way categories are presented to the users. The menu-xdg Debian package provide a menu-method that generate a .menu file that implement the Debian menu layout in term of the freedesktop.org menu draft. I am not sure it would make sense to standardize a menu layout: such layout should be decided with respect to the actual set of menu entries we want to provide instead of abstractly.
