Which patch? There's 4. And CSS classes shouldn't trigger the parser to do
things, that's just incorrect on multiple levels. CSS classes should be used
for CSS styling or to help JavaScript find the right objects, that's pretty
much it. It needs to be some sort of syntax that isn't already reserved for
something else (like CSS styling or normal links). That needs to be decided
before anything is done.

People aren't just going to grab a patch and commit it. Especially when the
last patch seems to be entirely different from what's being requested in these
past several comments.

I never said it was. Its the reason why there can only be one default.
Defaulting to a different version depending on what the browser language is
won't work for anons. The actual default can be changed, as long as there's
only one default.
