I'm still for CSS/cssclass since we're not just talking about styles,
but cascading stylesheets it feels more descriptive. But I'll be happy
either way!

We want to be able to use the concept of CSS classes (quite different from LZX
classes) to style LZX nodes. We want to be able to write style rules like:
.foo { backrgound-color: blue }
In HTML, you assign CSS classes to your<div> by:
<div class="foo" ...
In which case the above selector would apply to the div.

In LZX, the word 'class' is already heavily overloaded, so we want to come up
with a more expressive name for this feature. In the bug we initially proposed:
<view cssclass="foo" ...
and then proposed:
<view styleClass="foo" ...
I lean toward naming this new class property `styleclass`, in keeping with the other LZX built-in
properties being all lower case, and in keeping with the `value="$style{...}"` constraint
and the `<attribute style="background-color"` syntax. In our implementation, you will be
able to use a space-separated list of classes, so that you can have several different class selectors
apply at once, just as in true CSS.
Comments?
