What do you mean by "read out"?

This is old documentation. We register menu items in the 'add' menu with 
browser:addMenuItem now. It requires the `title` attribute, even when 
you specify a factory:

<browser:addMenuItem
     title="The label that'll appear in the menu"
     factory="explicit.factory.id-or-dotted.name.of.the.class"
     />

Note that we rarely use factories from class (<content><factory 
/></content). They are only useful for zapi.createObject(). For the add 
menu, you can just do:

<browser:addMenuItem
     title="The label that'll appear in the menu"
     class="dotted.name.of.the.class"
     />
