"Just make it with Boostrap & we'll put something better behind it later"

How many times have you heard that? Then "later" - if it comes - means going through all of your layouts and views and changing all class names. Of course it's possible that your designer will reuse css framework class names for you, but unlikely and not at all if they are just switching to a different css framework. What to do? 

My thought is - aliasing. I've always felt (as have others, I've seen) that css frameworks really "do things wrong" in how they force you to tightly couple your elements to their framework. It really defeats the purpose of a separate stylesheet to begin with. So, playing around a little I came up with this experiment. I'm not a designer first - my focus is on the backend stuff - so I'd really appreciate any feedback on the idea. Is this actually practicable?   Does it stir the juices and give you a better idea? Please let me know!

I'm using Sass, but I'm sure you can do something similar with LESS.
