selecting an element you *dont* want to be styled

Not knowing what exactly you're trying to style you can create a single
style for all the inputs and then create a non-style for the one you don't
want styled. For example: (I'm using paragraphs in my example because my
brain isn't awake enough yet to style inputs but the logic still holds...)

p		{background: red; border: 1px solid green}
p.plain	{background: none; border: none}

<p>styled paragraph</p>
<p class="plain">no styled</p>
<p>styled paragraph</p>

You're still using classes but not on all of them, just the exceptions.
