Interesting idea. I think I get it.

If I understand correctly, it kinda (maybe just a little bit) reminds
me of how I handle the styling of headings using CSS class names (in
an HTML5 <section>/<h1>,<h2>, etc. context):

<h1 class="h6">This is an H1 that's styled like an H6</h1>

The style for that would read (for example):

h6, .h6 { font-size: 115%; line-height: 1.2; }

Details here:

Though, I may have to update that answer to note some of the points
we've discussed here.
