In the XML spec here:

<p>An
<nt def='NT-Nmtoken'>Nmtoken</nt> (name token) is any mixture of
name characters.
<scrap lang='ebnf'>
<head>Names and Tokens</head>
<prod id='NT-NameChar'><lhs>NameChar</lhs>
<rhs><nt def="NT-Letter">Letter</nt> 
| <nt def='NT-Digit'>Digit</nt> 
| '.' | '-' | '_' | ':'
| <nt def='NT-CombiningChar'>CombiningChar</nt> 
| <nt def='NT-Extender'>Extender</nt></rhs>
</prod>
<prod id='NT-Name'><lhs>Name</lhs>
<rhs>(<nt def='NT-Letter'>Letter</nt> | '_' | ':')
(<nt def='NT-NameChar'>NameChar</nt>)*</rhs></prod>
<prod id='NT-Names'><lhs>Names</lhs>
<rhs><nt def='NT-Name'>Name</nt> 
(<nt def='NT-S'>S</nt> <nt def='NT-Name'>Name</nt>)*</rhs></prod>
<prod id='NT-Nmtoken'><lhs>Nmtoken</lhs>
<rhs>(<nt def='NT-NameChar'>NameChar</nt>)+</rhs></prod>
<prod id='NT-Nmtokens'><lhs>Nmtokens</lhs>
<rhs><nt def='NT-Nmtoken'>Nmtoken</nt> (<nt def='NT-S'>S</nt> <nt def='NT-Nmtoken'>Nmtoken</nt>)*</rhs></prod>
</scrap>
</p>

which says that XML names start with a letter and are followed by
letters digits .-_: and some other stuff, but not /.
