I don't think this proposal is worse, but it isn't really better.  With the 
current event, I always have to hit escape when I actually DO need to get to a 
custom context menu, but I can still get to both.  With this proposal, I have 
to expand to get to the UA items.

Hmm, not sure what you mean by expanding... We can still show the UA context menu if you hold down shift like we do today though.

Is it perhaps because most web pages do not have a useful custom context menu? Would you say the same thing about, let's say, Google Docs? The Google Docs custom context menus seem like a great use case for this to me.

I think we shouldn't do this, since it would be hostile to users. I
think it would be OK to allow apps to request that the User
Agent-provided context menu items be tucked away in a submenu, though.

Note that this is something that web pages are already able to do.  Do
you think the contextmenu event that we currently support suffers from
the same issue?  Why is this proposal worse than that?
