Hey Kevin,
There's no problem with styling ID's since there is only one instance on
the page at any one time. Such as your header with your site's main
navigation. I don't have more than one "mainnav" container on my site so
styling #mainnav is perfectly acceptable.
As for not styling tag elements, I don't see how this is beneficial,
because having to classify every <p>, <a>, <address>, <h1-6> (and so-on)
tags would be extremely unreadable and problematic for a number of
reasons. Such as when using a CMS that dynamically generates a large
chunk of your content.
There's no problem with styling anything in your markup, within the
limits of altering your site's presentation, you just need to be smart
about your styles.
Cheers,

If you style IDs with CSS, you can get into trouble if you want to
have a second element on the same page with the same styles (2
elements with same ID being a problem), or if you want to change the
element's look in a single instance, but keep the functionality.

Why Kevin?
CSS is for presentation
Scripts are for behaviour
Blurring the two is a recipe for a mess
