Public bug reported:

The '|'s that separates items in the user menu (top right, Firstname Lastname, Settings, Inbox, Logout) is currently in the HTML, which means that they are read out as "vertical bar" by some screen readers. This is annoying as the text is only supposed to be decorative.
Either the '|'s should be changed to borders or the :before/:after pseudo-elements should be used to draw them. Note that pseudo-elements are supported in IE8 and up so compatibility isn't a problem.
