The reason why there are resrtrictions for ID attributes are exactly the same as why there are restrictions for the variable names in all known to me programming languages. ID attribute might be included in a complex XPath/XPointer expression and you have to be able to understand what "123+123" means: is it "123" + "123" or this is an ID attribute. Aleksey
