Description
As explained here, semantic class names should reflect function, not a particular style. So for example "niceblue" isn't such a great class name, as a differently-styled admin page might not even use blue there.
WordPress advertises itself as a "semantic personal publishing platform", and there is at least one ''A List Apart'' article supporting semantic class names (A List Apart is of course published by Happy Cog, the designers of the new WP admin theme), so this should be a part of the new WordPress design.

Please let's fix this before the 2.5 release, as once it's out there, we plugin authors will be saddled with it for a long time. There's already someone telling plugin authors to use "niceblue" in preparation for 2.5.
