I'm not clear either, except that, like CSS Zen Garden, having one set
of CSS classes to design for means that I could concoct one stylesheet
that could be used as the handheld stylesheet for thousands of blogs
instead of just one blog that chooses its own CSS classes.

In that way, we could actually iterate on design knowing that there's
some consistency in CSS classes.

But what about everything else on the page -- from navigation to branding to any non-atom-like content? Or pages with multiple hatom feeds? Or the wide variety of "stuff" that could be entry content -- from images, photos or screenshots to lengthy articles -- that would presumably go un-specified in an hatom-garden type setting.

I guess I don't see how the others participating think the pages would be consumed, and the win I see from hAtom (the ability to subscribe to elements on any page of a site without shipping mulutple versions of a document) isn't at all related to the handheld space.
