Summary: InstantStartGuide.html has span element with no content

Initial Comment:
InstantStartGuide.xml:

In the <guimenu>Project</guimenu>
    menu, select <menuchoice>
        <guimenu/>

        <guimenuitem>New...</guimenuitem>
      </menuchoice><indexterm class="singular">
        <primary>Menu Project</primary>

        <secondary>New...</secondary>
      </indexterm> type a name for your project.

chapter.instant.start.guide.html:

In the <span class="guimenu">Project</span>
                   menu, select <span class="guimenu"></span> → <span class="guimenuitem">New...</span><a class="indexterm" name="d0e219"></a> type a name for your project.


See empty span with guimenu class and following right arrow "→". Seems these markups represent nothing.
Do you mean for this DocBook xml to happen?

Thanks. Dangling tokens never make sense. Plus I improved the sentence at
this point.

You got that right.
Sorry for confusion.

If you're talking about <guimenu/>, yes, it is useless, and should be
removed.
(It would be less confusing if you were talking only of the DocBook XML.)

If we give some style to the class, what the difference exists for the span
tag with no content like '<span class="guimenu"></span>'?
Still I don't know why it is there.

Message:
<guimenu> is a semantic tag. The fact that it doesn't have currently a
graphical representation in HTML doesn't necessarily means it is useless,
For instance, we could decide to have the class <guimenu> italic, bold,
etc.
