To be fair, there is absolutely nothing at all wrong with having presentational class names. Nothing. It's not against the word or intent of the specs.

However thinking about how to avoid them sometimes leads to more useful classes. Those are good articles though. I know Eric Meyer has said the same thing too...

Not that I'm for adding them into the WP core, I'd just thought I'd mention that semantic html is different to the "semantic ideal" - and that doesn't even have a spec anywhere ;)

Is there a case for including in the core a VERY SMALL set of CSS defs? Like alignleft/alignright... Not keen on the idea but it would work for a large number of people

Names like "alignleft" and "alignright" are presentational in nature. I know I've seen a good article on this subject, but I can't seem to locate the one I had in mind. However, here are a couple of links that touch on the topic:
