   Re: [xml-dev] Invalid attribute names

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Jerry Sheehan scripsit:

> A tag attribute name must begin with a letter (i.e., upper or lower case
> A through Z) and can only consist of letters, digits (i.e., 0 through
> 9) and the hyphen, period, colon and underscore characters (i.e., "-",
> ".", ":" and "_" respectively).

Note that "letter" is by no means restricted to A-Za-z, but covers the
entire space of letters in all writing systems covered by Unicode 2.0.
In addition, combining characters can be used in all positions except
the first (where they make no sense anyway).

Monday we watch-a Firefly's house, but he no come out.  He wasn't home.
Tuesday we go to the ball game, but he fool us.  He no show up.  Wednesday he
go to the ball game, and we fool him.  We no show up.  Thursday was a
double-header.  Nobody show up.  Friday it rained all day.  There was no ball
game, so we stayed home and we listened to it on-a the radio.  --Chicolini
