Allowed characters in element id's

Subject: Allowed characters in element id's

How do I determine what's allowed in an id= attribute? I'd like to use
underscores and periods but jade gets upset about extraneous punctuation
marks in the id. I'm generating the sgml from another system and would
like to take give the elements an easy to read name.

Is this something that can be changed, or is that not a wise thing to do?
