Be aware that there are different rules for class names in CSS vs. HTML!

Good point, Anders; Charles, please note this as a correction to the
relevant part of my own response to your original question.
I knew I should have double-checked with the CSS spec :-(
No, you were (almost) right the first time, without checking the CSS
spec. Even though a class selector may have limitations with which
characters it can use directly, escape sequences allow the use of
absolutely any character at all. So, if you have a need to use such
characters, then you can do so with too much difficulty.
Back to the original question, there are exceptions to which characters
you can use, such as control characters and, depending on which quotes
you've used around the attribute value, single or double quotes.
e.g. class="..."..." or class='...'...'
(Note: ' is XHTML (or other XML) only, not HTML 4, and is not
supported by IE)
