Usage Warnings
In the rare case where the menu items are progressively loaded and by the time the user interacts with the content of the menu, the items are not yet loaded, the skeleton item can be used to indicate that the menu (or the specific menu item) is loading.
The Dimsum team is not aware of valid scenario of usage for this, but it is available as part of the "skeleton" effort that is still being refined and not yet published.
While usage is not directly discouraged, we do encourage you to consult with Dimsum team regarding your scenario in case any a11y consideration needs to be taken into account.
