Character escaping and browser compatibilty. Advanced

According to CSS syntax specs, character escaping shouldn't effect the declaration: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#q6.

For example:

 .myclass {f\ont-size: medium};

Code (markup):

is interpreted exactly the same as:

.myclass {font-size: medium};

Code (markup):

My question is, what browsers won't recognise those declarations as the same values.

One I know for sure is IE5.x and also I believe Opera 5&6 (I doubt anyone uses them anymore). My concern was more aimed towards more mobile devices and other modern browsers, that might slip up on this rule.

Also while we're on the subject, does anyone have a handy list of browser specific selectors, that will only work with certain browsers. Whether it's a bug or not.

e.g.

* html .myclass

Code (markup):

targets Internet explorer

Looks like I've been mean to Icab, Konqueror perhaps even camino, using the p\roperty value. Or rather they've been mean by not adhering to web standards.

I have to spread some love around before giving you anymore Gary. Thanks again.

 

That's impressive to see all those hacks lined up like that. I very seldom use any of that stuff. I'm afraid it would give me tired head.

cheers,
