@rniwa oh, I don't think we can change HTML to allow non-a-z at the start. That would change the parsing of `<†>` and similar constructs. And we cannot change XML to require a-z at the start. We can have a common subset for custom elements, but we cannot have a common rule for all of them unless we start breaking things.
