Also, I like leaving the html element names out of the class names (unless the html element happens to be the same semantically... like 'section')

Yours is totally cleaner. And still is semantic and reusable. I knew I got crazy with class names. I think a better approach for me would be to write all html first then style from general to specific. I stared out styling individual elements too soon.
