I agree - although any web browser with decent /J(ava)?[sS]cript/ support would 
already have a regex matching engine, fixing multiple classes support should be 
both easier and more "fundamental" than adding a new and "overkill-like" feature 
like regex matching to CSS3.

Isn't multiple-classes-per-object spelled out in CSS1? (Humph...IE....)
