Can't speak for Patrick, but I don't agree. What you're describing with your
class name is the *visual presentation* you wish to be applied to a
particular element. Why does it need to be indented? Is it important
informaton? Call it p.important then. Is it the first line of a paragraph?
Call it p.firstLine (or some variation) would be a more
semantically-meaningful name. p.indent is really not much different from
p.bold or p.blue.
