Clicking on '+' at bottom
Opens up text dialog to add new selector. If the selector is a Class
selector, adds the class attribute to the selected objects with the value of the selector name. If the class attribute already exists, appends the selector name to the class attribute value (the class attribute can include more than one class name).
I have been able to implement the former functionality in this case.
Discussing the latter case, i.e. when class attribute already exists for an object and say, one selector value has been added to object previously. Now if the user again wishes to add a different selector, will that be appended? Can an object have more than one selectors?

This dialog could replace the "Selection Sets" dialog, using CSS class attributes to define sets.
Please comment on the dialog here or at:

In the design, selectors have been represented in different ways. I believe each has its own significance. Some starting with a '#', others with a '.' and remaining with alphabets. To me, those starting with a # are object ids and those starting with dots look like a group of objects have a similar attribute. If something different, please do mention it.
So does this imply, I will check what type of object is selected, like if a single object, I can give the selector name == object id? Also will the style dialog contain all the objects in the drawing categorised under some selector? For an instance, selectors with object ids will be added to the style dialog as any object is added to the drawing.
