In order to comply with XML ID requirements in XML, and facilitate
future transitions to XML, can HTML 5 explicitly encourage id
attribute values to follow this pattern (e.g., disallowing numbers

Those are only validity requirements and only when DTDs are involved
(and possibly XSD) so it doesn't really matter.
While it may not be that common, people may want at a later date to
apply some files for validation...
And don't forget the vanity/business factor in having a fully validating
site.... :)
