Hi,
I noticed that xmllint complains about the Euro sign ("€") in an xml:id.
- "validity error : xml:id : attribute value € is not an NCName"
The W3C's XML specification, however, seems to allow this:
- https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-id/#processing
- https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#ID
- https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#NT-NCName
- https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-NameStartChar
* '€' is #x20ac which is in the range [#x2070-#x218F], a subset of
NameStartChar, and may, therefore, occur anywhere in an NCName.
Am I mistaken above, should I look at another specification, or is this
a bug?
I am using version 2.9.10[+dfsg-6.7+deb11u1] on Debian bullseye.
Minimal example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<x xml:id="€" />
