Jump to navigation Jump to search

There are many misapprehensions (citations to follow) abound about the purpose of the class attribute, which is often referred to, plural, as "CSS classes".

The wording in the spec should be changed to more clearly indicate the semantic nature of the class attribute, when used properly, and indicate the validuty of its use in this way.
