[vwnc] XML Character Classes

Today I played with the XML ID specification. It states that an ID attribute must match the _Name_ production. (http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#id)

I created Character classes from the given definiton and tested them against the existing implementation. The result is, that the XML framework rejects the colon. But XML 1.0 specification explicitly states : [...] XML processors must accept the colon as a name character. Two questions:
1. Is my test suitable?
2. If not - why differs the implementation from the specification?

Workspace code and the XMLCharacterClass class (requires Regex11) is attached

Ciao, Steffen
