Well, kind of.
Ideally these classes would be wrapped in (centralized) MediaWiki templates.
MediaWiki templates support redirects, localization, and have built-in
tracking. CSS classes, on the other hand, cannot be easily renamed, don't
support redirects/aliases, and they have no built-in tracking (it requires
scanning XML dumps to find them).
So instead of class="someClass" or style="color:#CC0000;", it'd be nice to
have {{make this row red}} (which probably already exists somewhere).
