First, Netscape Navigator 4.x is known to have severly broken CSS
support.  There is no reason in the world why its users couldn't
upgrade by now.  Second, two-tokens classes only appear if your RST

You are free to use CSS2 or even CSS3 in the stylesheet you embed /
reference in the "html4css1" output; so docutils doesn't limit you in
this respect.  The only question is that docutils will attempt to
produce such HTML structure that can be reasonbly styled with only
CSS1 features (and will use only it in the default stylesheet, of
course).
