I did read it.  What makes you think I didn't?

I'm not sure what David's (correct) comment about not being able to put a '#' in 
a tag name in well-formed XML has to do with what I said, which is that if you 
_do_ have a tag with a '#' in it, it can be selected by CSS.  Presumably you're 
using HTML, where you can in fact put a '#' into a tag name.  And if you are, 
CSS lets you select it.

Put another way, David was commenting on a limitation of XML, not of CSS.

Adding a single '\' is "heavy"?  Sorry, I don't buy it.
