Layout-neutral tag for CSS?

Question

Is there an \"invisible\" tag in HTML (4) that I can use to make CSS distinctions

tag.myclass tag.mysubclass h1 {  } 

without having

Answer 1

I suspect you can use <object> tag without usual attributes for that purpose, but I haven't tested it thoroughly yet. It's even in HTML5 (unlike FONT tag).

Answer 2

While all browsers give default styling to many HTML tags, at it's core HTML only describes data, it doesn't format it.

What you're probably looking for is a DIV tag, because no browser gives any default styling to that tag.
