How you get "all characters" out of this:
<quote>
ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be
followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"),
underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
</quote>
:: I'm not sure, but yes, hyphens are OK.

So you're using two editors with bugs. FWIW, your examples display
correctly in jEdit. Just one possible alternative :-)
