+<p class=note>This concept is used to validate [=/element=] [=Element/local names=], when
+constructed by DOM APIs. The intention is to allow any name that is possible to construct using the
+HTML parser (the branch where the first [=code point=] is an [=ASCII alpha=]), plus some additional
+possibilities. For those additional possibilities, the ASCII range is restricted for historical
+reasons, but beyond ASCII anything is allowed.

Thank you! I've fixed the regexp.

Re-running your test, it says

However I think this is correctly categorized by the regexp as invalid, because of the trailing code point 32 (U+0020, space). So something's slightly off in the rest of the test harness?
