along those lines, I wonder if class names such as this would in fact
be correct if all they were doing is adding a visual style (not really
tied to conveying the information, rather to control how pretty it
is)?

i suppose this would be similar to my occasional use of an empty div
(usually named something like 'bg') to add a background image.  It
isn't essential to the accessible presentation, only to the 'pretty
value' of the page.  Just some thoughts.  I'm a little fried
