Ah, I see. I guess I'm just more minimalist in my stylings.

No, I was thinking it would be useful in say pagemaster or announce.  
If you could <div class="{category}">...</div> around the content

I'll dig out where I use them but certainly in Announce and Article  
for bylines and almost everywhere a date is it tends to be smalltext.
