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.

Summary: | Avoid empty class selector for navigation bar → Empty class attribute in navigation bars |

Type: | enhancement → defect |
Replying to mgood:
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.
