But will a simple classname do? It doesn't seem to be working here, and 
that's a problem.

Even when it might, it's often somewhat easier to work with the real 
names on the elements rather than hiding them in class attributes. My 
own HTML pages have quite a few non-standard, invalid elements that I 
happily process with XML tools. I could probably change them to <div 
class="name"> and <span class="name"> instead, but my code would become 
more complex to handle that; and I don't see what anyone would gain by 
me doing this.
