I can't decode all the numbers given for the name start characters, but from the comments below, it looks like you've added _ and : to name characters but not namestart characters. Now this is precisely what I want, but my understanding was that the ERB decided to add _ and : to namestart characters too. (Why? I see no reason to want to add _ or : to namestart characters, and it just so happens some tools [e.g., Adept] make use of an initial _ character to denote internally reserved names, so at least for the present, we will not be allowing _ as a namestart character.) I'd be pleased to hear I'm wrong and _ and : are NOT allowable namestart characters, but I wonder if someone can confirm the current decision. paul At 21:35 1997 06 27 +1000, Rick Jelliffe wrote: >Here is a revised SGML declaration for XML 1.0. > >* ":" and "_" are allowed in names. > > > NAMECHAR > "." -- Suggestion: properties e.g. "dog.collar" -- > "-" -- Suggestion: selectors e.g. "iso8859-1" -- > "_" -- Suggestion: spaces e.g. "last_cat" -- > ":" -- Suggestion: namespace e.g. "cals::table" -- > 183 720 721 1600 3654 3782 8204-8207 > 12293 12337-12341 12443-12446 12540-12542
