If this was a significantly longer list, then I might feel that 'tedious 
hand-listing' was accurate.

While I recognise the temptation to use the CSS2 attribute selection and would 
agree that this was the way to go if the list was a hundred or so, but given 
that it is 17 it seems significantly easier and browser backwards-compatible to 
just list each one of these.

Just my two pence,
