Actually, the point of this sort of CSS pattern is what you described

If we have anything generic, it should be attached to generic tags,  not 
a messy and confusing and difficult to maintain library of styles  like 
we have now.

I just spent the entire weekend slimming down and organizing the maincss.css 
file. I'm sure it will help eliminate some of the style confusion. I'll post it 
soon.

If we put an id on a div around a product summary block, we don't  HAVE 
to use that in our stock CSS file, but the fact that it is there  makes 
it possible to do something special visually with that section  without 
any change to the FTL file.

So, you're saying content-specific styles should stay in the main stylesheet? I 
apologize if I appear dense, I'm just trying to make sure I understand you 
correctly before I proceed any further.
