if you look at it the other way around though, it makes sense:
the id/class is something intrinsic to the document itself;
you're then taking advantage of this to style things in different situations.

if you see what i'm getting at.

of course, the id/class should be descriptive, rather than presentational
(e.g. id="aboutpage" rather than id="greennavbar")
