spaces in ID attrib names

and <label for="

[benihana]

is it ok to have a space in a form input id name, and the corresponding label tag?

cheers

I believe that an ID must not start with a digit, nor should it have any spaces or punctuation in it.

The id [w3.org] attribute has a case-sensitive [w3.org] NAME [w3.org] token. NAME [w3.org] tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
