I mean that you should be able to choose whether a paragraph goes to a
<p> or a <p class="body"> or <div class="paragraph"> or a <paragraph>,
or whatever.  I think this would make it easier to make pretty css
files, and I suspect it will help accommodate requests to make
hyperlatex produce whatever html morphs into next year.

It's my interpretation of the one about CSS files (there aren't
many).  The requester didn't ask for this specifically, but I think
this is a way to answer the request that may also have useful
ancillary benefits.  But it may also be a pain, so I was requesting
opinions about whether anyone thinks it would be worthwhile.

Yes, that request was from me, and I'm often an idiot.  But I feel
free to ignore requests from idiots like that.
