The WEB source is the official reference, but The LaTeX Companion 2nd ed, p. 
842 discusses limitations on command and environment names. It's best to use 
lowercase and uppercase ASCII letters and the * character for these, and 
technically for \cite and \label as well. Using : is widely supported, so 
that's usually safe, but apparently not guaranteed. This is also why we can't 
allow arbitrary characters in citekeys.

I know it happens there…I wrote it :-).
