[WEB4LIB] Can an element have two class attributes?

[Ross Singer]

John,

You can have multiple (space delimited) class names in a tag:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#adef-class

So, it would be <div class="reason1 reason2"></div>

I don't actually know about browser support for this, but it is legal 
within HTML.
