Yes, I often run into the argument about "descriptive" naming conventions--I
say, there's descriptive (what it looks like) and then there's descriptive
(its function) ... which is going to be more useful next year when the look
of the site has changed? This is true in css just as it is with frames and
just as it is with database tables and field names and just as it is for
functions.
