--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The new menu system in WP 3.0 is adding target attributes to links. These
 are old legacy attributes and shouldn't be used anymore. It also causes
 validation errors unless using a transitional doctype.

 eg:
 <a target="_self" href="http://localhost/services/">Services</a>

 should be just:
 <a href="http://localhost/services/">Services</a>


 This bug is present in the latest menu system in trunk. I'm not sure how
 to find the exact version number to provide here, but it was downloaded
 today (2nd April 2010).


 Hopefully I've filed this bug report correctly. I'm somewhat of a trac
 n00b :p
