    I can see the similarity in functionality, but for the simple use for
    which it is intended, I like mine better, as it is less intrusive and
    more similar to a keymap "with intermediate help in echo area".

We may be miscommunicating; when you speak of a keymap "with
intermediate help in echo area", I think you're talking of the feature
I'm talking about, which handles menus (keymaps) on character ttys.

    (defun replace-menu ()
     "Run a replace command specified in replace-commands."
     (interactive)
     (mini-menu replace-mini-menu))

What will that do under X?  Use the echo area?
It might be better to construct and use a menu keymap;
that would do more or less the same thing on a tty,
but under X, it would display a real menu.
