no, it's not supposed to be all lowercase. lowercase elements, yes, especially when used with XHTML which is also all lowercase for elements and attributes (values are not). Not class and id names -- they are case sensitive.

Learned something new -- underscores are allowed now, however their support is still so poor that it's as if they aren't allowed.

Also, a reminder that class names cannot start with a hyphen or a digit, only a letter (capitalized or not).

i think the attributes do, but the class names etc can be mixed case.

hyphens are allowed but isn't CSS supposed to be all in lower case?

No underscores in class names, yes, good catch. I don't think hyphens are allowed either. I recommend (and use) inner capitalization.

also, I think .side_spreads is not actually allowed. Use .side-spreads instead.
