Hello Simon,
The question of class-based versus ID-based is one of
specificity not "bad versus worse". Our UI designers
use both; there are lots of classes and in the screens
that need it a few ID-based style definitions. These ID-based
elements need to override the class styles defined for those
HTML elements. That is, after all, the whole point of making
the style sheets "cascading".
So, I guess we must "agree to disagree" on this issue.
Regards,
Bryan

Thanks for the responses, Andrew and Simon.
Yes, we are aware that *some* browsers are able to handle
colon-escaped IDs, but the reality is that our product must support
IE (6 and 7) which does not allow this. And, yes, we are also
aware of the suggestion that you can use class-based styles rather
than ID-based styles, but this is not an elegant solution.
I have to disagree with that. imho, CSS file including an element id
is worst than style classes.
