Is there a designer for Office 2007-style ribbon bars, perhaps along the lines of the Visual Studio resource editor?  I found CommandBarsDesigner, but that appears to be geared to the older style of menus.  All the other examples I have found so far build the menus from code.  The folks who design the menus for my product are not programmers, so I am looking for some way for them to continue to work in a manner similar to what they are used to doing.  That is, using some kind of resource editor.

If such a creature doesn't exist, has it been discussed?  I could't find anything.  Is there a demand?  I can envision perhaps writing something that eats an XML file that contains some sort ofribbon bar definition and then spits out ribbon-building code, but I'd rather not get into that unless I have to do so.
