Thanks for the help and sorry for the useless request.

The DOM is fine; I was just unaware that the class
property was a list.
"Class" as opposed to "classes" certainly sounds
singular, and I haven't seen
multiclassing in practice.

The hyphen is allowed, although the commonly-used
underscore is not.

Thanks to all who responded. The question that remains
is, how wide is support
for "class" as a list? It works for me on Mozilla 1.5,
Opera 7, IE 6/Win, but
do any of the browsers that aren't completely out of
circulation yet (earlier
IEs and Netscapes) support this?
