Well, first of all, the way you would define it would be

<[layer/div/etc.] class="blue_style box_style"></[layer/div/etc.]>

I'm not sure about browser support though, i just looked at a few
messages from the css mailing list i'm subscribed to(
http://www.css-discuss.org/ ), and it appears that netscape 4 totally
chokes on it, rendering neither the blue_style nor the box_style.
