The CSS WG discussed the issue and concluded that chapter 4 was correct
(escapes are allowed by section 4.1.3: "Identifiers can also contain
escaped characters") and appendix G incorrect.
Appendix G has been changed for the next draft. In particular, the token
IMPORTANT_SYM is now defined as
"!"({w}|{comment})*{I}{M}{P}{O}{R}{T}{A}{N}{T}
using the same macros {I}, {M}, etc., that were already used to allow
escapes in dimensions such as '7in' and '2em'.
Please, check that this indeed solves the issue and let us know.
[For future reference: This issue has been put as "issue 16" in the
issues list that we plan to publish along with the next draft.]
For the CSS WG,
Bert
