This would be better implemented via mixins. Eg, the a element has the class 'download-button', which has all the additional visual elements mixed in via sass/less/stylus. There's a small overhead in file size, but it allows you to keep all the visual settings in a single place (the stylesheet) rather than two (the stylesheet and the HTML).

You can use mixins from the source SASS files to do most of this. I was thinking about formalizing it and including it in the documentation but I wanted to get some feedback first.

Excellent - since a lot of us work primarily in sass these days that would be quite useful.

As someone who's been meaning to learn LESS or SASS, good to see this. SASS might be the way to go then..!
