It seems to me that a backslash followed by a newline character is an
escape sequence only within string literals. That would mean the back-
slash is literally a backslash with no effect on what follows. There's
currently no definition of what a backslash DELIM in a selector means,
so it would seem the selector is invalid and Firefox has a bug.
