I wonder whether it is even necessary to avoid the word "class" in
this context, since it is just being used as a dict key and eventually
gets included in a stream of text.

You have a point there.

Greg's 'attrs' could be a function that would overcome this problem,
along the lines of a 'cookbook' trick, which I think should work in
Python 2.2:

def attrs(**kwargs):
    return kwargs
