Actually, the page does not conform to the css2 specification.  Using
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-uri.html to validate the page,
there are many parse errors.  The root of the problem is that '_' (underscore)
is not a valid character in any CSS2 identifiers, including class names
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#q4).  Just changing all the
underscores to dashes should fix the problems you are seeing.

Not reassigning to evangelism just yet, since the reporter seems to also be the
owner of the site.  So this bug could end up just being invalid instead.  Please
comment in this bug on whether changing the CSS to be spec-compliant solves the
problem.
