"objectclass" is a pleonasm and leads to: "an object is an instance of an objectclass", eugh!
well, it's also a disambigüator for the case where you have other uses of the word class : pitch class, class of polynomials, school class, struggle of the classes, the class of mammals, business class seat, ... and in a philosophy class you might learn that the word "class" has another meaning in philosophy.
Yet, for us, I think it is appropriate that the word "class" defaults to meaning "objectclass", with or without space or hyphen.
