I like to treat class and id semantically -- or at least according to my understanding of what that means. ID is properly used on elements (div, etc) that are unique. Class is used with elements that are categorical or a "class" in the mathematical and programming sense. For me an ID is something like header, footer, masthead, basically anything that makes sense as unique. If I happen to have a page for which I currently only have one newsitem. I will still use class. Simply because to me a page could naturally have more than one newsitem. I don't base the notion of ID simply on the fact of there being only one element of that type currently. I base it on "there should rightfully be only one." This is how I go about it. As they say "your mileage may vary."
