Hi DP,
Unfortunately, the only way to achieve that with the current API is to  
use the DocumentModifier and apply the class attribute yourself.  
There isn't a simple event that can be fired.

To add a span tag, the invocation would be something like:

int startOffset = eljBean.getHTMLPane().getSelectionStart();
int endOffset = eljBean.getHTMLPane().getSelectionEnd();

SimpleAttributeSet add = new SimpleAttributeSet();
SimpleAttributeSet spanAttributes = new SimpleAttributeSet();
spanAttributes.addAttribute(HTML.Attribute.CLASS, "st1");
add.addAttribute(HTML.Tag.SPAN, spanAttributes);
eljBean.getDocumentModifier().adjustCharacterAttributes(startOffset,  
endOffset, add, Collections.EMPTY_LIST);

A good example of doing this kind of thing is the AutoLink plugin  
(which comes with source).  We have an article walking through the  
code at http://liveworks.ephox.com/hints-tips/automatically-linking-urls

Also see the JavaDoc for the DocumentModifier class which is the key  
to modifying content within EditLive!
