This isn't actually true, you have been able to "multiclass" HTML since
1998 if not before.

The "class" attribute is a space separated list of identifiers.

For example:

   <p class="note important"> ... </p>

...with CSS:

   .note { }

   .important { }

   .important.note { }

...and so forth. See:
