Hi Yuzo and others,
Just want to supplement info that there is a well-defined character
sets that we can use within a NCNAME.

It looks like "." may be a good choice.

Issue
199: Message Variable Naming Scheme
Status: received
Date added: 16 Mar 2005
Categories: Data
handling
Date submitted: 16 March 2005
Submitter: Yuzo

Champion: Yuzo Fujishima <>
Document: Issue 103 resolution
Description: Since Issue 103 has been resolved without
defining concrete naming scheme for message variables, we need a new
issue to discuss it.
The BPEL issues list lists three
candiates:
A. $variable.part B. $variable_part C.
$variable-part
Submitter's proposal: I think
candidate C is not viable because "-" will be interpreted as the minus
operator.
Choose candiate A and make it illegal
to have "." in variable names.
