Colons in anchor tags?

Are colons not allowed in anchor tags when converting html to epub?

For example, A href="#14:1.0.1.3.10.1.59.1" seems to fail (i.e. the link doesn't work after conversion)

But, A href="#14-1.0.1.3.10.1.59.1" does seem to work.
(all that changed was replacing the colon after 14 with a dash)

Before I go through and change thousands of anchors I wanted to verify that I wasn't missing something.

Dont use periods and dont use colons, they will cause problems in various book reading programs. Use only letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens.
