[thelist] css class vs id

[Steve Cook]

If you check the archives you'll see that there was a discussion of this a
couple of months back. However, the main point is that an ID should only
exist once in a layout. So you could have something like

<p id="title">Main title - style used only once</p>

<p class="subtitle">Subtitle - used continuously throughout the layout</p>

There are some more finesses, but this is the main principle. In practise I
don't think any browsers will complain if you use multiple IDs, but you
should probably avoid it.
