At What Point Do Semantics Not Apply?

Are semantics completely inapplicable when it comes to CSS? Do you feel as though trying to create semantic classes is simply overzealous?

Are semantic names that only describe visual orientation as meaningful as valuable as those which describe the informational meaning?
