Re: Why can't node IDs start with a number?

hello,

I don't believe there is a specific reason why this is as it is...

change /^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$/
to /^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*$/
and test if thing work.

Unless there a problem arises, it could be changed in cvs. Do you  
have a reason you would like to use numbers first?
