I guess you are looking for this:

    http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-attribute-types

"Values of type ID must match the Name production."
    [4] |NameChar| ::= |Letter | Digit | '.' | '-' | '_' | ':' | 
CombiningChar | Extender|
    [5] Name ::= (Letter | '_' | ':') (NameChar)*
...

And also there was a topic in libxml mailing list about it:
