why? .documentContent covers all content relevant stuff - we wanted to 
have a flexible (not only css wise, but structure wise) thing we can 
reuse for stuff that has repeating content blocks, like a blog index. we 
didn't see a reason for having a seperated class and id for the same 
purpose.

is looking up a single class slower than looking up an id? is looking up 
5 classes much slower than looking up one? as far as i've seen, even the 
external link js is pretty fast, even on old machines.

or am i wrong when i think you want an id for speed reasons?

sorry we aren't js wizards ... but since we have a mailinglist, that 
gets discussed here anyway so such things won't fail again (this change 
was decided back when the nameageddon happend, on #plonedesign).
