	...		<blockquote>
			<p>Every HTML element may have a class attribute specified.</p>

			<p>The attribute, if specified, must have a value that is a set of space-separated tokens representing the various classes that the element belongs to.</p>

			<p>The classes that an HTML element has assigned to it consists of all the classes returned when the value of the class attribute is split on spaces. (Duplicates are ignored.)</p>

			<p>Assigning classes to an element affects class matching in selectors in CSS, the getElementsByClassName() method in the DOM, and other such features.</p>

			<p>There are no additional restrictions on the tokens authors can use in the class attribute, but authors are encouraged to use values that describe the nature of the content, rather than values that describe the desired presentation of the content.</p>
