Is there something wrong with OOCSS? I remeber a number of great talks Nicole gave about it a while back and I can't recall if there were any objections to it at the time.

It is one effective CSS method, not the only CSS methododolgy.

From the introduction of lint's man page: "The lint utility attempts to detect features of the named C program files that are likely to be bugs, to be non-portable, or to be wasteful."

The recommendations singled out by the article go beyond these rules to delve into opinions about CSS best practices. The CSS Lint name is thus IMO misleading. It would be better called OO-CSS Lint.
