[css-d] Semantics - For classes or tags?

We all know about the virtues of semantic markup. Normally, it is done (or span or div instead of p). However, is this really hitting it properly? "class" is, afterall, for presenatation, not semantics. Semantically, we're just saying it's a paragraph. It seems that the better way to do it wo
