yaq itself is actually mostly fine with any string, but we may wish to specify a lowest common denominator so we work well with things like happi which expect names to be valid (python or otherwise) identifiers following some regex e.g. [a-zA-z_][a-zA-z0-9_]* (python is a bit broader, allowing "letterlike" unicode characters, but such a regex may guarantee interoperability with a wider array of other tools.
