I think it's unfortunate that XML 1.1 and XML 1.05 decided to allow all non-ASCII characters in names. I have always dreamed that there would be a day when programming languages were able to use symbols like the multiplication and division signs with their intended meanings, rather than using ASCII approximations. Treating such symbols as names seems to rule this out for ever. Or if you decide that they are needed in names, then you should allow ASCII punctuation characters such as "+" and "*" in names too, with a suitable escape convention.
