Hmm, I didn't know CSS allowed escaping characters. This works on
firefox:
#tom.cat { selects id="tom" class="cat" }
#tom\.cat { selects id="tom.cat" }
Anyway, i find that confusing. Add the fact that things like ▒☃╋☎★☄☂
are valid IDs/class names, put some dots in the middle, and then
you've got
D does not make illegal markup.

Re-read Ricardo's answer. You are free to use dots in your ids if you
want. He is saying that by permitting a dot in an id string, the specs
allow a confusing ambiguity that has to be reso
t useful to claim that the specs are faulty. Until they change,

Yeah, that's a fault in the specs. XHTML specs also allow dots in IDs:
'only strings matching the pattern [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9:_.-]* should be
used.' - http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_8
But that causes problems for CSS too:
#tom.cat { which one

Specs at link pointed out says:
ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed
by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"),
colons (":"), and periods (".").
Aren't dots and periods the same?
-
double backslashes are the short term fix, but remember for the long
term that dots are illegal in ID's and will cause your page to not
validate.
see http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-name for reference.
