RE: class and css

Hi Daniel,

Yes, its something of a hack, but the advantage is that it keeps the markup
"standard" - we aren't adding anything to it. There are ways around it (ie.
putting directives in a separate file and referencing them via ids), but in
think in practice most people find it much easier to maintain just to embed
them directly in the markup. They don't conflict with other class attributes
(ie. whatever Barracuda leaves alone non-directive attributes) so you can
(and should!) still manage your page using css. Plus, as Barracuda renders
the page all the Barracuda specific directives are stripped out as they are
processed, meaning the final page that gets sent to the browser won't
contain them.

That help at all?
