Yes I saw that before I sent my question out to the list. I got a little 
confused by the link to the CSS Grammer. And some of the noations in on of the 
comment replies: 

"Identifiers beginning with a dash or underscore are typically reserved for 
browser-specific extensions, as in -moz-opacity."

"1. Note that, according to the grammar I linked, a rule starting with TWO 
dashes, e.g. --indent1, is invalid. However, I'm pretty sure I've seen this in 
practice."

"2. It's all made a bit more complicated by the inclusion of escaped unicode 
characters (that no one really uses)."

So I guess, in essence the answer is NO you cannot begin a class or ID name 
with numeric characters?
