If you can distinguish the elements with selectors, you can also give
them different styles. No need to use the class attribute if you don't
want to. E.g., you could use the title attribute:
<li title="make me green">This starts as red.
<li title="make me red">This starts as green.
<li title="make me red">This, too.
/* LIs that start red */
li[title="make me green"]:normal {color: red}
li[title="make me green"]:alternative {color: green}
/* LIs that start green */
li[title="make me red"]:normal {color: green}
li[title="make me red"]:alternative {color: red}
