I think it would be a good idea to issue a strong warning, if the validator encounters the underscore in identifiers, since many browsers (including Opera, Mozilla and Internet Explorer) implemented (at least in some mode) what CSS2 originally said, i.e. they treat identifiers using underscores as invalid syntax and ignore them, hence using them reduces the style sheets robustness. regards.
