I think we'll have to coordinate with the Guideline and Authoring groups to make that point explicit. I can't find any explicit mention of CLASS name being readable in the user agent guidelines or the web content guidelines. In fact, in technique 4.4.1, just after http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WAI-WEBCONTENT-TECHS-19990505/#lists it says "To further ensure that users understand differences between list items indicated visually, content developers should provide a text label before or after the list item phrase:" implying that the CLASS name isn't accessible for that purpose.
