In CSS 2.1, identifiers  (including element names, classes, and IDs in
selectors) can contain only the characters [A-Za-z0-9] and ISO 10646
characters 161 and higher, plus the hyphen (-) and the underscore (_);
they cannot start with a hyphen or a digit. They can also contain
escaped characters and any ISO 10646 character as a numeric code (see
next item). For instance, the identifier "B&W?" may be written as
"B\&W\?" or "B\26 W\3F".

Firefox 1.5 and more recently 2.0 (under linux, if it matters).  Just
for kicks, I fired up Konqueror and it also works fine, and have had
confirmations that aside from some javascript glitches on the index
page, Opera and IE 7 work perfectly, and IE 6 only has issues with
identifiers that *start* with underscore, but has no trouble if the
underscore is in the middle of the name.

Your problems are *not* related to the underscore issue (which, btw,
will be corrected for older versions of IE which do not follow css 2.1).
