I'd imagine that messing about with random IDs, classes and selectors could
result in unanticipated conflicts with custom templates and Style Sheets. You
could avoid that in Dokuwiki's default template and CSS, but even then you'd
still risk messing up a User Style Sheet.
That aside, IMO sites should never be CSS-dependant.
