The XML spec gives a syntax the names themselves must follow; it's the
surrounding fluff we get to make up.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charencoding says (in regexp-speak):

  [a-zA-Z][-a-zA-Z0-9._]*

We'll need to wrap this up so as to be easily used for all the various
config files.

But --- pop pop pop --- is there general agreement that this is the
right thing to do?
