I think that's probably where we part company. I suspect most of us 
here consider the use of HTML "class" for semantic information fully 
in line with the both the letter and spirit of the spec, and thus an 
entirely natural usage.
If you consider *that* an unfortunate hack, then we're probably 
arguing from fundamentally different premises and unlikely to reach 
any sort of meaningful conclusion. :-)
