This is some quite extensive research.  I agree with all of your 
recommendations, except:

2.11: Need to look closer

2.12: Need to look closer

2.13: Need to look closer

2.16: Rename to xar-[modname]-formwidget and define in each module, 
standardize it, or remove it.  Need to look closer

2.17: Need to look closer

2.18: Need to look closer

2.20: Need to look closer

2.29: .xar-pager should be added to required classes in theme CSS

2.33: I think .xar-title is a remnant from PostNuke, where its purpose 
was to fake a headline by appearance, not semantics.  The list of 
occurances supports this, where we see it applied most often to <span>, 
which has no semantic meaning.  I agree the class should be removed, but 
the intent of it should also be achieved by semantic markup.

I will address your list in the 1x core.

While preparing a new draft of the Xaraya Style Guide yesterday, I
noticed that the core CSS contains two redundant classes: 
xar-align-center and xar-center.  The latter should be removed.

Also, I've had some improvements/additions to Theme and Core CSS in my 
head for a while, but I've resisted implementing them until the project 
is more organized.
