Question: Why MenuItems does not found on NavigationViewItem

See original GitHub issue

(I am using Visual Studio Chinese translated, the sentence below is translated which may be difference than Oringinal.) When I typed these code, editor tells me Unexpected symbol "MenuItems"

<NavigationViewItem Content="Nav Item">
  <NavigationViewItem.MenuItems>
  </NavigationViewItem.MenuItems>
</NavigationViewItem>

Why and what happens? I even changed my IDE from VS to JB, it’s still not working And also, this is not working

<Page  ... xmlns:muxc="using:Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls" ... >
   ...
  <Grid>
    <muxc:NavigationViewItem Content="Nav Item">
      <muxc:NavigationViewItem.MenuItems>
      </muxc:NavigationViewItem.MenuItems>
    </muxc:NavigationViewItem>
  </Grid>
</Page>
