Depends what you mean by "stable" and "break". I've certainly seen code 
that needed to be changed to accommodate the increased set of name 
characters, and where the change was non-trivial because the increased 
set included non-BMP characters. The code was concerned with mapping XML 
names onto unique identifiers in some other space (SQL column names, 
perhaps? I forget the details).
