Unfortunately it seems that underscores, though no-longer invalid are not without their problems either, at least according to Eric Meyer (author of a number of CSS books): http://devedge-temp.mozilla.org/viewsource/2001/css-underscores/ Though this page is old, and the browsers listed are largely deprecated... I don't know what modern browser support is like for underscores... I'm guessing it's pretty good and the point is largely moot. As far as I can see there are three options. 1) Use underscores (against the above advice) (practically probably not a huge issue) e.g. outline-container-1_1 2) Overload the use of hyphens to be for both spaces and .'s... e.g outline-container-1-1 3) Stop using hyphens for spaces and switch to camel case convention, freeing hyphens to be substitutes for .'s e.g. outlineContainer1-1. This option seems like the best design, though it completely blows backwards compatability away so is probably a non-starter. Leaving us with 1) or 2). Personally I think *if* underscores aren't a problem for modern browsers, ie8, firefox 3.5+, recent opera's safari and chrome we use them.
