Surely it would make much more sense to have all the predefined class names start with a dash? After all, XHTML5 is not yet standardised, whereas people have been using all sorts of random class names for years - but, I suspect, mostly without a leading dash.
You're proposing something that looks like the path of less resistance for adoption of the spec. While this is certainly worth something, it also happen to be the path of less intensive to use the predefined class names, or to register new ones when you need one, since private-domain class names would be prettier and easier to type than the standardised ones. Beside, it would also make it impossible to register class names currently in use by microformats.
Because of all that, I think it makes more sense that the private domain be the one that starts with a dash. There is also the benefit that you can create a similar private domain for link types (for the rel attribute).
By the way I know the current predefined class model is lacking in certain areas, most notably it makes clashes inevitable (although how much this is a problem is still open for debate). It could certainly be scrapped altogether in the future, but in the meanwhile I want to improve it little by little. Maybe with enough incremental improvements like this one it'll become good enough for a majority of people.
