after reading this thread I feel comfortable using my own
'expando'/'extendo' attributes again, and using classes too!
but classes are the only way to pass the validators! If you are
horribly concerned with possible interaction with css classes, you
could remove the javascript class with jquery, add an expando, and
deal with it then! the validators don't care what you do with the dom,
just the html!
