I think that you are mistaken. But just in case you are correct -- that 
there has
never been an email that explicitly argues for assigning styles for CLASSes --
then please consider this such a proposal.

However, I think that everyone understood the intention to use CLASS names
as semantic tokens and as CSS selectors.

Besides, since a CLASS value relates an element to a CSS style, and also
relates an element to an out-of-band semantic, then it seems clear that
the CSS style sheet is related to an out-of-band semantic through their
common relationship to a CLASS name.
