I'm sorry, I am still confused. Here's the original text:

   Identifiers SHOULD follow a consistent naming pattern throughout the
   module.  Only lower-case letters, numbers, and dashes SHOULD be used
   in identifier names.  Upper-case characters and the underscore
   character MAY be used if the identifier represents a well-known value
   that uses these characters.

There are other characters that are not in either of these sets. Are you
saying
that they can't be used under any conditions?
