We now have 2 possible ways to word this rule:
(Order does not imply anything)
1.
[R 5] XML names must start with a letter (a to z or A to Z) optionally
followed by any number of letters or digits (0 to 9, a to z, and A to Z).
They may not include periods, spaces, or other separators. As a regular
expression this is represented as: [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*
2.
[R 5] XML names must start with a letter (a to z or A to Z) optionally
followed by any number of letters or digits (0 to 9, a to z, and A to Z).
Other characters not described here, such as punctuations, periods,
spaces, or other separators MUST NOT appear in XML names.
As a regular expression this is represented as: [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*
Can we have a straw poll on this, please send me an email saying Rule #1 or
#2. I will post results. Thanks.
