I do agree that using an element with type class instead of a huge number of type classes is the way to go here, to avoid class namespace pollution.
I actually don't like using the separate element, in part because this information is usally not displayed, but rather used for processing (styling and conversion). The type does matter for display, in other words, but in more subtle ways that have the user see "book." Before we settle this, can we go over the technical arguments against using classes? I know, for example, that Tantek once said it's not generally good practice to double up classes ("hcite book") but I'd like some explanation about why. But I will say that in either case, one must allow for extensions. I've worked on this for a long time, and defining a fixed list of types that is anything but arbitrary is pretty much impossible.
