Re: HTML/CSS issues

Spinning along on discussion concerning alternatives... It's in the middle 
of the night and I haven't tested this, but perhaps

   <div id="mdscomponent" class="CHOICEcb">..</div>

.. could be replaced with

   <div class="mdscomponent><div class="CHOICEcb">..</div></div>

which looks rather cumbersome, but might work. It annoys me though. There 
must be some good way to inherit between definitions in CSS.

My purpose with the id/class thing was that all components should have a 
common set of properties, and that each component type should only need to 
add/override what was strictly needed, in the best of worlds nothing.

Concerning implications on stable release.. I haven't decided for certain, 
but I think I'll go ahead and do a stable release tomorrow anyway, and let 
the fix for this show up in 3.2.1 or similar. The current setup works for 
me in IE and mozilla, and there are certainly a lot of other glitches 
around which I won't bother fixing until a later release.
