I've been using the dash and period in ID names a lot recently (part of an unobtrusive DOM scripting set of functions I've been developing) and not found any problems yet in any of the Win browsers. Whether IDs formatted like this "functionName.-fe-4r-6s-ef-s5-ef.2000" will work in older browsers or different operating systems I'm kind of crossing my fingers about!

As programmed other languages before CSS. Plus lowerCamelCase makes it easier to read than a something named with a ton of underscores.
