Hmm, maybe I should change that FAQ answer to be a little more correct.
The real answer is:

  Anything but the quote character and '>' if you use a quoted name.
  Anything but '>', '=' and whitespace if you don't use a quoted name.

I guess I imagined that I might want to rewrite the parser to be more
restrictive at some point.  Maybe I will, but I think you'd be safe enough
to treat the above as true for at least 2.x.
