Yeah, that's not really practical if all you're doing is an animation (that is, 
setting style.left and style.top repeatedly).  There is no class to use, and you 
might be animating a large number of elements (see 
http://www.speich.net/computer/moztesting.php the "Slow (3D) DHTML performance 
compared to ie" link), or you might be positioning things in a way that can't be 
predetermined (e.g. following the user's mouse pointer).  Neither use case is 
really served by a predetermined stylesheet with one class per possible position.
