Vertical-align should apply to all inline elements, not just
replaced ones.

They must be internally escaped to put in the HTML, nevermind
the CSS parser. (The class attribute being a space-separated
list of classes.) What will you escape whitespace characters as?
Hyphens?

I have reservations about removing the class attribute like that.
Associating styling with classes is common practice, and very
practical, but classes aren't part of the style system; they're
part of the structural markup. I don't like equating "no styles"
with "no classes"--it leads to misconceptions:
If styles are associated with a given tag, are you going to remove
the tag?
