Perhaps we should go ahead and fix this up on the server?  I can understand
the point of having the server be fairly light in terms of accepting the
data given to it, but if the class=x scheme can be mapped fairly
straightforwardly to the x=sub-x scheme, then we can clean up the data on
the server, and keep the complexity all in one place.
