With this considered, wouldn't it be a lot easier to write a perl script or something that adds these classnames based on a pseudo-CSS stylesheet for a site, a sort of preprocessor for CSS sites. It would give advanced users the flexibility they are looking for, it would not over burden the CSS implementor, and it would save a lot of processing on the client side.
