Class naming conventions

[Justin]

Thank you for this detailed summary Anastasia.

I'm wondering if we should have a convention for the order the classes  
appear.

I.e. the DOM-selection class before the visual styling classes.

Not sure how important this is or not, but it might make it easier to  
read if they are in a consistent position.

Thanks
Justin
