-Note that any tag may be assigned a CSS class.  This is the sole way of making use of the values produced by $\mt{style}$ declarations.  Ur/Web itself doesn't deal with the syntax or semantics of style sheets; they can be linked via URLs with \texttt{link} tags.  However, Ur/Web does make it easy to calculate upper bounds on usage of CSS classes through program analysis.  The function $\mt{Basis.classes}$ can be used to specify a list of CSS classes for a single tag.
+Note that any tag may be assigned a CSS class, or left without a class by passing $\mt{Basis.null}$ as the first value-level argument.

 Also note that two different arguments are available for setting CSS classes: the first, associated with the \texttt{class} pseudo-attribute syntactic sugar, fixes the class of a tag for the duration of the tag's life; while the second, associated with the \texttt{dynClass} pseudo-attribute, allows the class to vary over the tag's life.  See Section \ref{signals} for an introduction to the $\mt{signal}$ type family.

+Further, there is a special convenience and compatibility form for setting CSS classes of tags.  If a \cd{class} attribute has a value that is a string literal, the literal is parsed in the usual HTML way and replaced with calls to appropriate Ur/Web combinators.  Any dashes in the text are replaced with underscores to determine Ur identifiers.
