For XML?  Please, check the XML Standard at www.w3.org; IIRC, Unicode
characters are even allowed for tag names.  You can issue the following
command if you want to know whether "_:d-2" is allowed as an element
name:

{ 
  cat /usr/share/sgml/openjade/xml.dcl
  echo '<!DOCTYPE _:d-2. [ <!ELEMENT _:d-2. (#PCDATA)> ]><_:d-2.>x</_:d-2.>'
} | onsgmls -wxml
onsgmls:<OSFD>0:1:W: SGML declaration was not implied
(_:d-2.
-x
)_:d-2.
C

The warning isn't fatal.  As you can see allowed names depend on the
SGML/XML declaration in use.

Others are happy with psgml plus xxml.el (plus some self written macros).
