indeed you can write:

<div class="blueArea redFont orangeBox fancyFormStyle">
...
</div>

because usually you want to define font shapes, area colors, etc for 
your entire site and re-use them inside many widgets, portlets. etc...

This makes it possible to mix together CSS classes and avoid useless 
duplications in case only the color of a widget changes and not the 
fonts that it uses, CPSSkins uses that method of combining many CSS 
class names together, (font shapes, colors, area shapes, colors, form 
styles, etc...) to create composite styles for each object. It is a bit 
like impressionism in a sense...

Which makes me wonder why one would want to set widget names in CSS 
class names...
