Description
At the moment bp-core-templatetags.php assigns a number of classes to be added to the body tag.
Issue is that these classes are all a tad random or rather they tend to output a token that is very specific to the bp_is_*, this results in having heavy handed grouping of selectors to cover simple rules and adds bloat to the stylesheet.
Proposal is that overall it would benefit styling if there were some more generic classes to cover general sections of BP i.e in any screen that comes under the members account area body would carry the token 'my-account' I have modified my templatetags file thus:
{{{ if ( bp_is_settings_component() && !bp_is_blog_page() )
$bp_classes[] = 'my-account settings';
if ( bp_is_user_friends() )
$bp_classes[] = 'my-account my-friends';
}}}
etc, for all items that fall under the member account group of screens.
Ideally I would output an id token on probably the html tag which is where I normally denote major sections or pages that group logically.
I have set this ticket to 'minor' however would hope that it's also a relatively minor additional piece of work that does make theming less of a chore.
As it is I have not been able to locate where the followers/following plugin manages to declare their tokens so have to add an extra unnecessary set of grouped selectors to ensure these screens pick up the rulesets.

I'm about to commit some improvements to this, but I think it probably needs a revisit around BP 1.4, after custom post types or a component class, to simplify the code.

I need to revisit but thought a while back that I still had a requirement for classes when running over profile pages, but equally may have found an easier workaround so yes think this is safely closed - but may reopen if I do see an advantage / suggestion for more.
Bumping this to 1.3.
Great suggestion but a little too much to look through so soon before a point release.
This function could be expanded and probably simplified a lot, just by using the $bp->current_component and $bp->current_action variables instead, with a few additional checks to fill any gaps.
If you want to come up with a better complete solution for this, I'd love to see what you can come up with.
