--- Comment #2 from Michael M. <listenle...@gmail.com> ---
There are some advantages the classes have:

* They are more descriptive. <span class="script-buginese">some text</span> is
more obvious than <span style="font-family: Saweri, sans-serif;">some
text</span>. You had to look up the exact font names in the documentation,
while you could use classes without doing so (if you know the English name of
the script).
* They are shorter.
* Classes can be used in advance, even if there is currently no font for the
script. Then it will work once a font is added to ULS.
* Users can override the fonts in their common.css if they have a font
installed for a script they like better.
