[Standards-JIG] Jabber-RPC struct names

Does anyone know a precise definition of what characters are legal in a
<struct><member><name> element?

The XML-RPC spec doesn't say. (It restricts the characters which are legal
in a <methodName>, but doesn't say anything about struct field names.)

The Jabber-RPC JEP has a (semi-official?) schema, but (if I'm reading it
correctly) it gives the data type as type="xs:string", which implies that
it's completely unrestricted. This seems wrong. But maybe I'm being too
conservative, and the answer really is to allow any string.
