The "problem" as I see it is that, even in light of CSS1 implementation,
there is no tag that has NO other purpose other than applying a style to a
selection. Styles can only be applied to phrase markup and block elements
that ALREADY carry a meaning of sorts. When this is content markup, all's
fine and dandy. If this is actually a tag that indicated rendering (like B
and I), people get confused.
What we should have is simply a tag (something like FORMAT or RENDER) which
only has one attribute: CLASS.
