Hello Adrienne,
I'm not sure how good or bad IE is in general at this stuff.
But I know escaping the ":" works in IE (for CSS)... because I did it
before. (Works in Firefox too of course.)

Charles,
I went and looked, and per the spec you're right (any Unicode
character, escaped, is valid) -- BUT, how do parsers/UAs treat them? I
know IE has trouble with certain escaped characters, for instance. Not
that i'm interested in coddling IE -- but it'd be good to make sure
that more forward-thinking UAs aren't making the same mistake.
