Thus spake Jelks Cabaniss :
" You can *sort of* do that now with CLASS styling in CSS. But CLASS properly
" used (IMO) should really apply to semantics, like <p class="legal">...
"What you
" end up with today is a lot of stuff like <p class="ItalicRed"> which implies
" that CLASS means STYLE information.
Isn't it your choice how you use CLASS or ID. You can even use multiple
classes per element: 2 for semantics, 1 for style (new! now with twice the
semantics!). The Core Style project proposed, quietly, the following "named
styles" namespace, with a category devoted to "functional/presentational":
/* Dublin Core Metadata Set
.content
#Title
#Subject
#Description
#Source
#Language
#Relation
#Coverage
.intellectualproperty
#Creator
#Publisher
#Contributor
#Rights
.instantiation
#Date
#Type
#Format
#Identifier
*/
/* semantic/rhetorical
#abstract
#acknowledgment
.advertisement
.answer
#antithesis
.conclusion
.credit
.detail
#dedication
