I remember reading specifics about that somewhere in the green css book. I use ids for selection divider elements. like #header, #footer, etc. Ids are easier hooks for javascript. And you can use an id more than once per page but then it won't validate. :) But classes are useful b.c. you can have multiple classes for one element. also by saying your fav. exp of classes includes "code", are you talking about a class to mimick <code>?
