1. Added a handful of super-handy conditional body classes to super-char… …

   …ge _s's stylability.
   
   Over the years I've found the conditional browser classes to be
   indespensible in theme development. When a particular browser is
   misbehaving it is extremely simple to conditionally alter a style (or
   fire some javascript) to handle its minor inconsistencies without
   having to load entirely separate stylesheets or conditional script
   files.
   
   The post-/page-slug conditionals has also made it very easy to style a
   specific page/post on a dev server and have all the styles
   automatically match in production (in cases where a strict database
   export/import isn't used and post IDs change). It also makes it easier
   to read and write styles because a slug is more easily recognized than
   an arbitrary ID.
   
   The category classes of course make it easier to style a site that uses
   thematically different categories (magazine style) and the date-based
   classes just allow for fun things like styling a site differently for
   Christmas or styling posts published in January in a way that separates
   them from posts published in otther times of the year.
   
   The date-based classes require an additional function
   (_s_date_classes()). This functionality is probably superfluous for
   most sites, but is still a pretty clever trick and demo. (hat-tip to
   ian and themeatic for the inspiration behind this one… i think :))
