Does CSS support the following class descriptors functionality?
1) Adding classes
Let be
.a { p1; }
.b { p2; }
How do I get ".c {.a + .b}" or "<span class=a+b>"
Where class c combines a & b classes properties, ie equivalent to
".c { p1; p2; }"
Just write <span class="a b">.
2) Parametrized classes
How do I get something like:
.c(X,Y) { width:X; color:Y; }
To be refered in HTML later as:
<span class="c(50%,red)">
Where class c becomes equivalent to ".c { width:50%; color:red;)"
I know it sounds crazy..
Oh ! That one is interesting and not so crazy. We already have
pseudo-classes accepting parameters, so why not classes (theoretical
question only)...
Unfortunately it's not only on the CSS side and would imply a
modification of the class attribute's model.
Anyway, I think it deserves to be added to the CSS Suggestions List, if
it is still active. Bert, what do you think ?

It seems like at least that particular use:
<span class="c(50%,red)">
would be a step back to <font color=red>
