Hi,

you could try
   <navbar:render [your options] :a:class="menu">

This is how it is supposed to work.
But in ChangeLog there is
    *) Fix generic attributes in wml::des::navbar (05-Nov-2001):
       They were not always taken into account.

So it could not work with WML 2.0.8, maybe CVS version is required.

WML must help writing HTML documents with CSS support.
I have no idea on how to do it, except with the scheme above, described
in wml::des::navbar(1) section 'Special options of <navbar:render>'.
Unfortunately I reveive few feedback, so I am not not it works as
expected.
