Both approaches work fine in a browser (firefox at least), and both approaches could be generated from the same XML. But having an XML background I see that the second approach has the following advantages:

It depends on the Web community you are talking to and then the type of applications and tools. In the paradigm of Web authors and Web designers, the Web community has a better understanding of class names because they are used to it. In some other Web communities, it will be the opposite, people will have a better grip on XML namespaces, and schemas.

So it's really a question of community of practices. The more important is to find bridges when it's possible. The rest turns always in religious debates, which are pointless.
