Sure, I even proposed it myself in an earlier post, and for some reason 
I'm not completely comfortable with that approach.  I'd like to have a
[[div]] markup that is less obtrusive.  But I can go ahead and implement 
[[div]] if there's sufficient demand for it (send me "yes" or "no" votes 
via email).

If doing this I'd recommend

    $InlineReplacements['/^=class:([a-zA-Z][-\\w]) (.*)$/'] =
      "<div class='$1'>$2</div>";

so that digits, hyphens, and underscores are allowed in class names.
But I'd still like to have a wikistyle method for block styles.
