Thanks all - what a great response. I did end up reading the CSS 2.1
spec but as has been pointed out, a CSS selector does not necessarily
equal an HTML class name. Here's a bit of background: I need to
include the following in a class name (for use in a microformat):

class="urn:lsid:ubio.org:namebank:530114"

From what I gleaned from the CSS spec, I escaped it to this:

class="urn\:lsid\:ubio\.org\:namebank\:530114"

Is that now valid (in terms of CSS) as far as anyone can see? Would
the original unescaped version be a valid class name, even though it's
not a valid CSS selector?

Cheers,

Charles
