The current state of play with @role and @class is that @role
represents a predicate of xh:role, whilst @class represents a
predicate of rdf:type. The main motivations were as follows:

Bzz! False! Just because it is widely used is not a reason to use it. In
fact my argument is that that is exactly the reason *not * to use it :-)
People expect it to mean other things. Start with a clean sheet.
* we need an easy way of indicating rdf:type;
Agree.
* having a 'role' of 'toolbar' is not the same as _being_ a toolbar,
and so @role shouldn't
be used for rdf:type.
I know you think this, and I have considered your explanations of why, and
I am still not convinced. I'm personally happy with @role being rdf:type.
