why are the css classes so funky? (e.g. class="TUdKmf-xhiy4-haAclf h1U9Be-xhiy4-qAWA2"). Are they randomly generated? what's the purpose?

It looks to me like they're just obfuscated words. If you look at one of the hierarchies, you see "TUdKmf-xhiy4-haAclf", then "TUdKmf-xhiy4-DKlKme-haAclf", then "TUdKmf-xhiy4". Seems like they're just taking a normal class like "note-body-wrapper" and "note-body" and obfuscating it.

What's the purpose of obfuscating css?

Make it harder to use userscripts for custom styling..?

I think it's auto generated from GWT?

That's true for all of their stuff. Look at GMail
