Ah, that's a common misconception.   HTML classes have nothing to do with 
CSS.  You can style classes with CSS because you can style *many* selectors 
(ids, tag names, and any other attributes) with CSS.  The class attribute 
has no more to do with CSS than the tag name or the id or anything else.  
HTML classes provide a mechanism for extending the semantics of the 
document, which many microformats make use of (along with other useful HTML 
semantics such as the href attribute of <a> tags, etc).
