If the ID is to be used for JS, say, the problematic characters depend on how the string is quoted. If it's used in another attribute, then what matters is more what characters HTML allows convenient use of. If it's used in CSS, then it's up to CSS what is convenient. Because there's all these different contexts, the spec just stays silent on the matter of what is best practice or not. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
