Looking through the spec again, there is nothing about backslashes in

I would be rather surprised if that were true, given that Firefox
doesn't do it and I've never come across a website which broke for that
reason. But maybe I live a sheltered life.
It's not that unheard of, though I wouldn't say it's rampant. Just a
quick search on bugzilla.mozilla.org [1] produces some samples.
Admittedly most of these bugs are old. However the newest one is from
January 2007, so the problem still crops up.
