Actually, from the spec:

[45] elementdecl  ::= '<!ELEMENT' S Name S contentspec S? '>'
 [4] NameChar     ::= Letter | Digit | '.' | '-' | '_' | ':'
 [5] Name         ::= (Letter | '_' | ':') (NameChar)* 
[84] Letter       ::=  BaseChar | Ideographic
[85] Basechar see http://www.xml.com/axml/target.html#NT-BaseChar but
believe me it allows all sorts of characters
