If you want all your page headings to be in red and in your corporate 
font, and all the subheadings to be in grey etc then giving them all the 
same class and setting that once for the whole site in a main stylesheet 
is the only sane way.

On the other hand if you have things that are only used once with a 
style so customised to that particular element that it is of no use 
anywhere else then it probably makes more sense to refer to it by id. 
Though a class with only that element in it would work just as well.


If you really want an extreme example of the benefits of a properly 
conceived stylesheet then just find any webpage created in Microsoft 
frontpage. A large page of tables etc can easily run to megabytes of 
source when every single element has inlined style tags defining the 
font, size, colour, etc!
