Another example: I have a well defined main paragraph style (I tag it only with the letter p). Out of this one, I created many others with just a small difference: either indent, or margin, or font-style, or font-size...

That's how I do it. I like being able to browse through the code, and see at a glance, the plain-jain, every-day paragraphs. And conversely, when I see a 'p' with a class name, I know that something "special" in the way of formatting must be going on there.
I think what you're running into is ebooks that are being
generated as opposed to ebooks being
built. With programs such as calibre or other automated generation programs, the
"every tag a class, every class/every parameter" approach makes logical, programmatic sense. The exact same code must work for every situation--every book every paragraph--, after all. But it certainly does't make as much sense (aesthetically anyway) when lovingly hand-crafting an ePub.
I don't see Sigil exacerbating this in any way, though... or is this just a general ePub styling discussion?
