IDs should NOT contaign plus signs. You should have read the links I posted
before.
*ID* and *NAME* tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be
followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"),
underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
And obviously characters like > (children) and + (siblings) affect the
selector's behaviour
