 quite horrible, not to say buggy or erratic. I wouldn't use such a
 selector in my stylesheet :)

 Agree.

 > Second, moving templates to a sub-folder (and thus being forced to
 reapply them) breaks things as well (css), one expects to have access to
 the same body class selector, template located in sub-folder or not.

 Disagree. When a template is moved to a subfolder, all posts using that
 page template break. I see no reason why the CSS class shouldn't also
 change.

 > Third, it could be useful to have the sub-folder name as a separate body
 class, so one could group a bunch of templates and style them all in one
 go.

 Clever idea.
