- Must begin with an alphabetic character, "_", or "$".
- Cannot be a HyperScript keyword (e.g. a type declaration).
- Can contain a colon that separates a namespace from a tag, ie: "namespace:tag"
- Must not exceed 64 characters.
The following are valid identifiers:

The following cannot be used as identifiers:

An identifier can also be a string of any characters enclosed in single quotes. When enclosed in single quotes, identifiers can contain any ASCII characters. Names can be up to 64 characters long and are case-sensitive.
The following quoted strings are valid identifiers:
