You can only have one element with a given ID, but many elements of a
given class. It's very well supported by browsers, since it was defined in
CSS 1.

You want the w3c specs. They're a bit of a bear to get through, but
everything you ever wanted to know about the standard is there (because it
*is* the standard).
