Looking up a class means looping through all the nodes (or at least a
selection of nodes, if you know what kind of element it is), looking
for a string match on the class (argh!) , while ids can be accessed
directly, with getElementById()

So, the difference is really between lots-of-pain (which i really
don't care that much for) or the normal, agreed-upon way of doing
stuff

There is no need for you to be a js-wiz, Michael, - but there is
really a need for *one* id that wraps the contents of all
content-type-templates.
