Hello,

I am an occasional but avid user of asciidoc.  I've begun generating PDF as 
well, using a2x.  In one case, I was having XML validation problems with a 
bibliography entry that was generally like so:

Here is the bibliography reference <<2011-spec-document-X>>.

And then at the bottom, where the bibliography list is, it has something 
like so:

[bibliography]
- [[[2011-spec-document-X]]] http://www.whatever.org/somespec-2011.pdf

The failure was caused by xmllint not liking something about the 
bibliography entry.  I resolved this problem by moving the "2011" to the 
end, so that the reference was now "spec-document-X-2011".

I wanted to know if this was a known problem or limitation?  I checked the 
list to see if this was discussed earlier but didn't see anything.  I'm 
happy to file a bug but didn't want to if asciidoc / a2x was working as 
expected.  I attached a file demonstrating the problem, with a comment that 
provides instructions, and another one where the problem is resolved.

Thanks for any help,
Smith

Here is an example reference to the bibliography. <<2011-spec-document-X>>

// running "asciidoc bibliogrphy-problem.txt" works fine
// running "a2x -v -f pdf bibliography-problem.txt" works fine now that the

== Body ==

Here is an example reference to the bibliography where the reference starts 
with a letter.  No problems. <<spec-document-X-2011>>


== Bibliography ==
[bibliography]
- [[[spec-document-X-2011]]] http://www.whatever.org/somespec-2011.pdf
