I think this is the way forward. I also think it would be good if there were some place that we could reach a consensus on some class-name-conventions, such as the use of 'search', 'button', 'price', etc. Then if these get used widely then maybe they will be considered for the html5 spec.

It isn't very strict (I can also use another <code>class</code>-name, and my code is still 100% valid). Reserved <code>class</code>-names and <code>id</code>-values: ok, but not for very structural elements within the page. For now, I really recommend using the element names from the future <abbr title="Hypertext Markup Language version 5">HTML5</abbr> as a <code>class</code>-name or <code>id</code>-value (depending on what kind of element). I don’t see why using the class–names and id–values… It isn’t very strict (I can also use another class–name, and my code is still 100% valid). Reserved class–names and id–values: ok, but not for very structural elements within the page.
