In CSS "." and ":" should be escaped using back-slashes like so:

#person\.name.employee { /* css rules */ } // id: #person.name, class:
employee

a.links\:external:hover { /* css rules */ } /( tag: a, class:
links:external, pseudo-class: hover

The readability's close to null IMHO, hence the very low adoption
rate.

I've never ever used either characters in a class or id name myself
but I understand who they could be useful for namespacing purposes.

I don't know what the rest of the core team thinks about it. I'm
personally not hostile to supporting it as long as it doesn't wreck
the performance of $$ and other Selector-related methods.

Regards,

Tobie
