 From my non-meta-data-expert perspective, this looks good. In any case, better than using 
xpointers. So, yes, if this is okay from the metadata perpective, it is okay for me, too.

One could do so if the semantic if this attribute is to attach the given class to every 
paragraph or text portion that gets the style assigned by the user. But in any case, the 
class must be copied to object/element in the content. Otherwise, the semantic of the 
document gets changes if the styles are exchanged.
