<p>The order of items in an Options menu should follow the template presented
below (in specific cases, when there are strong arguments against the order
in the template, the order can be changed.)</p>
<p>The option names listed here are generic names, not the actual texts used
in the products. The texts may even vary between applications even though
the logical item is the same.</p>
<p>Items that should appear in every full Options menu opened from the left
softkey are labeled mandatory. However, these items are not required in context
sensitive Options menus.</p>
<p>For other than the mandatory items, only the items needed in each context
shall appear in the Options menu.</p>
<p>Items specific to the context can be added among the common items, in the
places where they best fit, considering the importance and probable usage
frequency. The places where context-specific items may appear are represented
as +++ in the list.</p>
<p>Submenu titles are indicated with ? and are followed by the submenu items.</p>
