Actually you can. class="alarm text" would match both .alarm
and .text selectors in your stylesheet.

So you could style the .text as right-align, and the .alarm as red.

Some older browser/versions might not grok that, but I think it's
pretty well covered nowadays.

You could of course assign two different classes - say, text and
atext, one of which is styled for only right-alignment, and the other
is red *and* right-alignment. Your choice, really, but the latter is
going to be somewhat better supported.

Naturally you should pick class names which mean something to your
particular situation. I was just illustrating possibilities.
