I am not sure having an ACCESS tag of importance would help, since the user will never know all the class names that an author will create. For that matter with the new tools many authors won't even know what their class names are or even what classes are. I think style sheet over rides will work great in pages that do not use CSS or only use CSS on the standard HTML classes. But pages are becoming more complex and sub class tags is becoming more popular. The use of abslute positioning will also be a problem, unless the overriding style sheet can somehow modify the existing positioning. Many times the user with a disability will not want any spatial positioning, especially if is not carrying any information usefule to interpret the page.
