We discussed that about a year ago... The consensus was that the colon was the best option. But with the advent of ajax frameworks, that choice might be under reconsideration.
According to our investigation at that time, the colon is a valid character inside ID attributes. That still hasn't changed: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#h-6.2 ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
