I believe the common understanding of "recommendation" is as defined in
RFC2119's definition of should, i.e. that there may exist "valid
reasons" not to adhere to a requirement...

...and I don't find that a "valid reason".

I don't mind your approach (not duplicating categories in PLD desktop
files), but have a doubt:

What menu building tool are you referring to? If it doesn't support
"AudioVideo;Audio;" very well, it's not conformant (here, strictly speak
with menu-spec. The spec explicitly allows for such text to appear in
conformant desktop files -- and these might come from an external (non-
PLD) source, and not apply the PLD-doc/vfolders convention, still being
valid.
