efficiency?

I just discovered this works (yes I know ;-). What I was wondering is
has anyone used this effectively? I see possibilities for a leaner,
more efficient css file. I also see the possibility of a bloated html -
before I waste too much time with this I thought I would ask what
experience the group has with this method.

css
..red {color: red;}
..big {font-size: 200%;}
..i {font-style: italic;}

html
<li class="i">bla</li>
<li class="big">bla</li>
<li class="red big i">bla</li> <!--This will have all 3 atributes-->

Sorry to those who consider this off topic - IMHO it is not *that* far
off the mark.
TIA

In principle - it's an effecive technique.

As you've executed it - it's no better, perhaps worse, than doing it the
old-fashioned way.

Why is the text large? Italic? Colored? Use class and id names which
reflect the semantic purpose of the style, not the effect.

Sorry, I was unclear (again) - I meant that as a very simple example of

the effect - not a full-blown copy.

Thanks for the info - I will play with it a bit.
