I agree. Problem is there is so much code dependent upon some of those
improperly named classes that it is impractical to just rename them.
I can see the project slipping down the slippery slope of putting every little
thing inside a <div> element. And that concerns me.
A better way to handle multi-column layout would be to have component-specific
style sheets and load them via the GlobalDecorator. Each component could then
style its own columns.
