The pre-emptive strike on half a dozen "obvious" class names seemed to me a major error. If a r\^ole (and I used the word advisedly) can reasonably be ascribed to more than one element, and if there are a small number of clearly- identifiable and recurring r\^oles, then I would far sooner that HTML 5 added a "role" attribute, and proposed a central registry for registering r\^ole names, rather than usurping the use of "class".
