It just occurred to me that there was no class="defun" hook anymore in the new 
HTML output.
It looks like all the other instances of dl are <dl compact="compact"> and as 
far as I could tell all the other <dl> were used for definitions (but there are 
more than 2500 in the elisp reference so I could not check all).

I understand that the HTML output must retain compatibility with old HTML 
standards but adding better CSS selectors would greatly enhance the potential 
of the HTML manuals. :)

I'm currently checking 
/usr/local/Cellar/texinfo/6.3/share/texinfo/Texinfo/Convert/HTML.pm
to see what could be done in this area.
