I don't see how a class could "describe" an element (for UAs, not authors).
If there was a known convention on possible values, then I'd agree to say
that it could convey information (other than style), but AFAIK this is not
the case.
I may be missing something though, so I'd be happy to "hear" what others
think about this...
