Data corruption happens in the non-ASCII world, probably because the
charset is mistaken. Without the restricted NameChar, XML parsers
are happy to swallow such corrupted documents and create a correupted
database, WWW pages, etc. Restrictions on NameChar forces conforming
XML processors to detect such corrupted documents.
