   It isn't a problem.  Netscape is correctly following the CSS grammar,
which does not allows the use of underscore characters in class names.  In
fact, the only permitted characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and the dash (-).
Other browsers may accept class names with underscores, but they do so in
error.
