Oh dear, that's terrible, everyone knows you should use dropped vertically aligned braces in CSS: .grey { color: grey; } > <p class="grey"> My Grey Text :) </p> That's disgusting... now what happens if you want to change the text to blue? You either have a class called grey that makes the text blue, or you have to change all the HTML where you used class="grey" which puts you squarely back into the realm of why the font tag was deprecated. > That's much simperer and it validates.
