The XML Recommendation says that a name must begin with a letter or one of a few punctuation characters, followed by letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, or colons. The names of XML-elements and XML-attributes are case-sensitive, which means the name of start and end elements need to be written in the same case. My rule about not using attributes has one too: Sometimes I assign ID references to elements in my XML documents. Names cannot contain special characters other than the period, hyphen, underscore, and colon. Attribute names must begin with a letter (or the underscore). So, any of the following names
would be valid XML names: Digits are acceptable within an element name. accustomed to the term in Western "Arabic" numbering systems. These four

Allowing you to use descriptive names
