Project: Tomcat
Bug 34509 tag names that are xml:Name but not java identifier are not accepted
Reported: 2005-04-19 00:45:34 | Status: resolved fixed

According to the JSP 2.0 specification, custom tag prefix and name should be of the type XML:Name. However, for Tomcat 5.5.8, if the name is not a legal java identifier, then a compilation error occurs. For instance, Tomcat won't accept Da~te`T#ag as a legal name for the Tag.
