I think XML name tokens are better detected by exclusion not inclusion: this is a sensible way when you have to deal with lots of potential naming characters. In other words, you detect the end of the name by the presence of a sepchar or a delimiter, rather than by testing if each character is a name character. At the reading end, such simple token-detection is all that is needed if your document is well formed. To stop silly tags, the SGML declaration should have ZWNJ character (which I think has to do with cursive operation of arabic scripts, and is as much required as accent characters) NAMECHAR not NAMESTRT. So, in context, ZWNJ and RTL & LTR have visible effects. They are not usually undetectable. But it is better to allow silly tags than disallow native-language markup: only about 1/4 of the world can make sense of English/Latin tags. Apparantly the WG is waiting till August to finialise the naming discipline.
