You should be able to implement your first idea by extending the table
tag.
<extend tag="table">
<old-table merge>
<tr:>
<if test="&fields">
<with-fields merge-attrs="&all_attributes & attrs_for
(:with_fields)" force-all>
<td param="#{this_field.to_s.sub('?', '').gsub('.',
'-')}-view" class="#{'numeric-field' if this.is_a?
(Numeric)}"><call-tag tag="&field_tag"/></td>
</with-fields>
<td class="controls" param="controls" if="&all_parameters
[:controls]">
<a param="edit-link" action="edit"
if="&can_edit?">Edit</a>
<delete-button param/>
</td>
</if>
...
Unfortunately you have to override the whole row since you won't know
what the field name is to be able to target just the <td> tags.
Or you could override the view for that type and add a class to it.
If it's a one of a kind deal it's probably cleaner to just give the
specific fields the class like you did.
