The issue of what is permissible within an XML ID attribute and how that may affect XHTML document authors is, I think, well out of scope for the RDF-in-XHTML Task Force. Your issue may apply equally well to RDF/XML, however. The attribute rdf:ID is specified to have the value restrictions of NCName, per [1,2]; i.e. it must start with a letter or '_'. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#idAttr [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#rdf-id This is still out-of-scope for the RDF-in-XHTML Task Force and the simple work-around for an RDF/XML document is to use the rdf:about attribute.
