Just a little thought before leaving for work. How funny would it be if we used truly semantic classes and ids in our XHTML? Instead of pretending it’s a “container” or “event-holder” or whatever other text we use to try to fool ourselves into semantic meaning, what if we were truly honest about the role that element was playing? For example:
- im-no-css-jedi
- because-multiple-background-isnt-implemented
- ie-wont-clear-this-damn-thing
- i-can-hang-another-background-off-this
- bottomless-pit-for-my-dom-wickedness
- should-have-been-a-list
- because-ive-never-heard-of-fieldset
- must-have-rounded-corners\
I think it’ll catch on. Got more?

I used as class of “ie-fix” in a recent project. I think that was, in fact, an abbreviated “ie-wont-clear-this-damn-thing”.
