Description

Here is the rendered XHTML code for the metanav bar:

<ul>
  <li class="first">logged in as joeuser</li>
  <li class=""><a href="/trunk/logout">Logout</a></li>
  <li class=""><a href="/trunk/prefs">Preferences</a></li>
  <li class=""><a href="/trunk/wiki/TracGuide">Help/Guide</a></li>
  <li class="last"><a href="/trunk/about">About Trac</a></li>
</ul>

Although empty class selectors are valid in XHTML/strict, it prevents Trac from generating valid XHTML+SVG pages, i.e. documents that follow http://www.w3.org/2002/04/xhtml-math-svg/xhtml-math-svg.dtd

When such document type is used, the w3 validator fails on all occurences of

  <li class="">

because of the empty class.

This is an issue with Trac plugins that want to generate valid XHTML document with inlined SVG data.

Hrm, it would appear that the W3 validator for XHTML/Strict is not really that strict, since it validates the empty class attributes, though they do not conform to the DTD.

Oh ok, so this is more a small issue than an enhancement.
