Re: [webcomponents] [Custom]: "are" custom element names ASCII characters, or MUST they be ASCII characters? (#239) from Anne van Kesteren on 2016-03-09 (public-webapps-github@w3.org from March 2016)

The main thing is that browsers have code for an "NCName" check and everyone is vaguely familiar with it given createElementNS (and it's only a character different from createElement). So placing additional requirements beyond "NCName" makes it

1. Easier to see the delta.
2. Likely easier to implement.
