arbitrary grove-aware lexical parsing to any attribute.
TIM BRAY: No, we don't want a lexical model.
We want CDATA, but unique.
That is a very good statement of the requirement!
That is really all that is wanted here.
ID Changes real users have desired:
1) New Characters, Top Priority = "_", SGML
Declaration amended.
2)* People also asked for (and were discouraged from):
the following characters: "=","/", "\","@", "#",
":", "^","<", ">", and "%".
3) Wanted to start with a numeric WITHOUT changing
the name start character for all other names.
4) Wanted to allow very LONG IDs, without permitting
future programmers to make GIs longer than
8 characters.
* Footnote: (I do not advocate we allow all these
characters, but naive users have requested them,
sometimes with legitimate reasons.)
