Just write <span class="a b">.

Oh ! That one is interesting and not so crazy. We already have 
pseudo-classes accepting parameters, so why not classes (theoretical 
question only)...
Unfortunately it's not only on the CSS side and would imply a 
modification of the class attribute's model.
Anyway, I think it deserves to be added to the CSS Suggestions List, if 
it is still active. Bert, what do you think ?
