    See <http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2001/css-underscores/> 
for a historical overview of the use of underscores in class and ID 
names, as well as advice on using them (or not).  My feeling is that 
underscores should be avoided for extranet pages, but for intranets 
where the browser base is known and controllable they may not be a 
problem.
