So you disagree with the greying-out, the centering, and the horizontal
separator?

It seems to me that we are already breaking rules--having a menu item
that is never selectable and is actually just a heading.

I guess I don't think that the greying-out confuses users as much as the
non-greyed-out-centered label is non-stetic.  ;-)
