The reasons why they cannot contain embedded (or even trailing) spaces
is clear, and does not need reference to other standards (such as CSS)
even less arbitrary libraries such as Jquery.  But that was not my
question -- I was simply asking if there can exist any justification for
allowing class/ID names to commence with a digit that would not equally
apply to allowing such names to contain spaces; both offer "convenience"
to those that would exploit such features, but little else.
