XBLElements should not be StyledElements.  XBL is not a language that responds
to inline style or to the class attribute, so you would create bugs by
inheriting from StyledElement.  I will double-check this with Hixie, but I'm
pretty sure the XBL div does not support class or style attributes.

I also disagree with making XBLDivElement.  There is absolutely no reason to
need that class.  Why generate it?  We should not make classes for elements
that don't need them.
