\c means a "name character", that is a character that can appear in
XML names, given by the NameChar production in the XML spec.

\c+ means one or more name characters, and corresponds to a name
token, the XML Nmtoken production, and the values allowed in an
attribute declared to be of type NMTOKEN.

(Name tokens differ from names in that the first character of a name
is more restricted; for example a999 is a name, but 999 is not even
though it is a name token.)
