<mode type=pompous>To be precise, it must have all NAME characters to 
escape quotes.  NAME characters are the upper- and lower-case alphabet, 
the digits, and the characters "-" and ".", to which HTML adds "_" and 
":".  In the SGML case, we could talk about augmenting NAME with LCNMCHAR, 
UCNMCHAR, and now NAMECHAR, but we're Not Going To Go There in this 
post.  Also, if you're dealing with attributes in the document 
instances, you have to have SHORTTAG enabled in your SGML declaration 
to do this.</>
