First you say you don't want to constrain XML by the rules of HTML but then you say you want to use a subset of both.

1 coupled with hyphens is definitely the easiest option here.

(XML is constrained by https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#NT-QName whereas createElement() is constrained by https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-Name. I think the former is a subset of the latter. But XML is also not consistently implemented across engines due to the fifth edition debacle and everyone mostly stopped caring for it.)

@domenic thoughts?
