But even from that angle, can this be considered good practice? Isn't it contrary to the specification's intentions in forbidding digit-led identifiers using the standard methods? Would you genuinely suggest this advice to the OP, or is this purely an exercise in exploiting spec loopholes?
I could imagine a hypothetic Web application that generates class names from any other information, which may start with a digit. Thus class names may not even be known at coding time. In that case, escaping all digits might be a valuable alternative.
A simpler question, that has still yet to be answered, is why digit-led class or id identifiers are banned in the first place. Alan, Phil — any ideas?
Interesting question I was wondering about since I learnt CSS. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
