Determine if question IDs can start with a digit #32

  1. ONA is rejecting questions whose ids start with a digit. Apparently the id's are transformed to XML elements down the road and XML elements can't start with a digit.

It seems pretty common that implementations could make use either numbers or UUIDs for question IDs. @ukanga , is it possible that Ona could find a way to handle question IDs that start with a digit? e.g. by prefixing them internally with "q-" or "question-" in your internal XML?

We could take that approach but I suspect this may have way too much overhead on Ona's implementation. I am more likely to propose to my team to rethink how we currently handle data and have a plan to overhaul our entire setup which could result in something new and as such the integrations goals will be further down the road.

For me, this is more on +0 and very much depends on what my team at Ona wants to do.
