Identifiers and numbers, yes.

Indeed, they are all equally valid.  However, R7RS-small says that lists
of the form (srfi ...) are reserved for SRFIs; the intention was that
SRFI 17 be named (srfi 17).

R6RS did not permit numbers, and so the convention in R6RS implementations
is to use (srfi :17).  Of course, an implementation may trivially support both.
