Using Underscore "_" in Entity Names

Subject: Using Underscore "_" in Entity Names
From: Chuck Darney <cdarney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Within my SGML instance I have several Text Entities referenced.  In the
header I have an Entity:

<!ENTITY QUOTE_EXPIRE_DT "June 25, 1997">

Later in the instance I reference "QUOTE_EXPIRE_DT".  

The underscores are not valid characters in the entity name.  Is this a
limitation with SGML or DSSSL?  Is there a way around it? I'm passing
these entity references from a Powerbuilder program and a SQL database
(which doesn't care for dashes).
