And, it seems some should exist already? Does the China Mieville's stuff count as Steampunk-like? (It's "new weird" but this fantasy setting has much steam-punk elements).
Of course, if one is going to critique steampunk for not recognizing class issues, one would have to make the same statement about much of fantasy not recognizing class issues of medieval settings. (Which it often doesn't--actually an issue I have with much of fantasy, that kings/queens/princes/princesses or "chosen ones" etc. should matter more than common folks.)
