Ah, but class and id are NOT CSS-related.  CSS can target based on them,
but they are part of the markup, and technically CAN add semantic
meaning.  It's just at this point there is no agreed-upon method of
doing so.

Isn't this why role was added as well?  role is supposed to allow tying
an HTML tag to an RDF tuple, isn't it?
