 * Base implementation of the menu item rule.<p>
 * 
 * This was introduced because of the possible sub-menus. 
 * Most rules are not sub-menu aware, therefore they do not need to implement 
 * {@link #getVisibility(CmsObject, CmsResourceUtil[], I_CmsMenuItemRule[])}. 
 * This default base implementation just calls the standard visibility method 
 * discarding the additional rules.<p>
