 Twenty Thirteen use type selectors with the form class instead. Simpler,
 doesn't rely on IDs.

 As [https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2013-03-05&sort=asc#m569212 discussed in IRC] I think even though
 the [http://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/coding-
 standards/css/#selectors WP CSS naming standards] recommend using hyphens
 between words, this is an exception, for the following reason: the ID is
 already there, and it's more user-friendly for themers to use the same
 value for both class and ID.

 I was wrong about older themes using the class already, though it's in
 Twenty Thirteen now. Twenty Eleven uses the ID selector only.
