Are weapon mastery feats intended to be *class-specific* multiclass feats?

Fighter is a Martial class, and as such the Bard multiclassing into fighter should qualify for Whip Training.

I would tend to agree. The feat says 'martial class' not 'a class using the martial power source'. Some abilities say clearly power source, like the Sorcerer's extra damage ability, which says 'any arcane power' as opposed to 'any sorcerer power'

That is clearly a power source. The feat is not.
