Answer 1

An XML element whose name starts with a number is illegal XML. You should not start with numbers.

XML elements must follow these naming rules:

• Names can contain letters, numbers, and other characters
• Names cannot start with a number or punctuation character
• Names cannot start with the letters xml (or XML, or Xml, etc)
• Names cannot contain spaces

Any name can be used, no words are reserved.

Answer 2

Simple workaround is to {concat('_',data(desired_tag_name_here))} and filter out the first character elsewhere if it is a lodash. A tidbit hacky, but when CData and other methods are either too dirty or make the code unreadable, just tag a note by the concatenation, fix it with the next handler, and move on about your business

Answer 3

Try using a CDATA like below:

<component>
    <![CDATA[    
    <870Jars>
    <filename>v10.3.0-870Jars.zip</filename> 
    <targetfilename/> 
    <version>v10.3.0</version> 
    </870Jars>
 ]]>
</component>
