Another aspect of this is that characters appropriate for identifiers in the ASCII range will always vary, because they tend to be determined by other aspects of the language in which the identifier is being defined for: for example, "-+/%" cannot be used in languages that tokenize "-+/%" to be mathematical operators, "." cannot be used in languages that have a method or field shorthand using ".", [01-9] cannot be used in languages that take a leading digit to signify the start of a number, and so on. So it is the non-ASCII portion of the Unicode recommendations that are of interest, and these are pretty similar to XML 1.0. Cheers Rick Jelliffe
