The big real world problem is that it is nearly always only used in the first way; in fact a lot of people have started calling it CSS class. The idea is that, in a rational style sheet, the styling will mirror the meaning. > ...is, for a plumber, for a carpenter, for an audio fan, for Grandma and fo= > r > Grandpa, *way* more simple, understandable, than The big problem is that professional web designers don't think in terms of meaning, let alone the man in the street. If anything, it would probably be easier to teach ordinary people, with real content to present, that they should only use your second meaning than professional designers. Naive authors, producing vanity pages, will always over-style them. PS your emails seem to come from someone called "Junk Account"; that doesn't inspire confidence. It is also quite common on lists like this to reply off list under various circumstances.
