See #721 and particularly this comment. Currently we only allow a relatively limited subset –nearly ANSI– of characters in command names. This does theoretically limit what valid XML we can render. Practically speaking I don't know how much XML in the wild uses full spectrum UTF-8 in tag names, but...

Since this all the other points discussed in that issue are resolved and I have no plans of implementing this right away, I'm moving it to it's own issue.

And what the reciprocal? Currently we allow : in commands (e.g. verbatim:font, pullquote:font &c).
But in XML, it would conflict with namespaces.
(Well, we don't really support XML namespaces, but we ought to. See section Thoughts on internal namespacing in #2111)
