From the normative section on the differences between the CSS1 and CSS2 tokenizer <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/grammar.html#tokenizer-diffs>, we have: In CSS1, a class name could start with a digit (".55ft"), unless it was a dimension (".55in"). But, from CSS1, forward compatibility <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#forward-compatible-parsing> we have the unambiguous: in CSS1, selectors (element names, classes and IDs) can contain only the characters A-Z, 0-9, and Unicode characters 161-255, plus dash (-); they cannot start with a dash or a digit; ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If the CSS2 statement were in an informative section, rather than a normative one, I'd call it a lapse, and let it go. I'd thought the issue settled through previous discussion, but the mis-statement is still part of a normative reference. Oversight? Sue JordanReceived on Thursday, 14 May 1998 08:33:33 GMT
