Exactly this is the usual way to keep the HTML code as lean as possible.

In most cases the only class you need can be assigned to a div container
surrounding simple tags without any class.

So you can have

/* default styles */

p {
    whatever
}

/* special styles */

.myclass1 p {
    whatever
}


.myclass2 p {
    whatever
}

assigning a class to each of the tags in such a container would create a lot
of useless overhead.
