Lenses uses "className" for all IE - but that does not work anymore in IE8 (needs "class")

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. make lens templates with class attributes for styling
2. try it in IE7 and IE8

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
in both IE's "className" attribute is used (instead of "class") - that is 
needed to make it work in IE7 but in IE8. Code that needs to be changed is in 
lens.js around line 480.

What version of the product are you using? On what browser and what
operating system?
SIMILE Exhibit 2.2

in lens.js, line#418  change  from 

name = "className";

to  

name = "class";

Then the classes come correctly in IE8+.

After making the change, you can recreate the budle or edit the 
exhibit-bundle.js (2.2.0) and make same change on line#4375.

I hope this helps someone struggling on IE8, IE9 to make the lens format work 
correctly.
