It wouldn't be so bad if modules actually did this - but only some  
modules actually output a class on their links. Having some links  
with CSS and some without is a frustrating thing for a themer. I've  
filed at least 2 bugs on modules not including classes.

In this situation, a theme could add a class to every link because it  
knows what module outputted the link. At a minimum, perhaps the code  
that concatenates all the links should automatically include the  
module's name as a class?
