Does that mean the best way to go fro ID, Class Names, Variables, etc... is
interCaps (also known as CamelCase or lowerCamelCase) ?

Subject: Re: [WSG] are underscores a problem
That said, I was asked if we could modify some id and class names to go
from
nav1sub1 to nav1_sub1 . I told them my preference would be nav1- sub1.
But
then I thought I should check to see if there would be any problems
using an
underscore in an id or class. Is it one of the legal characters?
This topic came up a month ago. Read the archived thread for more info.
Underscores were illegal in CSS 2.0, but "legalized" in 2.1 since every
browser except Netscape 4 violated that rule. Since 2.1 is a refinement
of 2.0, 2.1 completely replaces 2.0 -- that is, there is no such thing as
conforming to CSS 2.0, like you could conform to both HTML 4 and XHTML 1.
Hyphens are not forbidden, but are frowned on since they caused minor
problems with some versions of Javascript interacting with IDs. I don't
remember the specifics.
If you need to support Netscape Navigator 4.x, do not put underscores in
your IDs or class names.
