When used properly, ids and classes add semantic value. (That ids and
classes can add value is, in part, the basis for microformats.) For
example, id="nav-main", id="footer", class="price" all add value.
However, there's values in scarcity. When ids and classes are scarce
there is an implied value which is imparted because "this element has
one and that element doesn't." With class="bullet1", class="bullet2",
class="bullet3", etc., their value is somewhat diluted.
