According to scorm 2004.3 are those fields of a datatype termed "short_identifier_type".
This is what the same document says about short_identifier_type:
short_identifier_type: The short_identifier_type represents a label or identifier. This label or identifier shall be unique within the context of the SCO. The short_identifier_type shall be a characterstring that conforms to the syntax defined for URI, refer to RFC 3986 [6].
Since an empty characterstring does not provide sufficient semantic information to uniquely identify a value, then a short_identifier_type value shall not be an empty characterstring and cannot contain all white space characters. The short_identifier_type value shall be implemented with an SPM of 250 characters.
This referes to RFC 3986, the definition of an URI. Where this standrard clearly specifies that all unicode characters can be coded by first applying UTF-8, and then %-encode characters not natively allowed as URI characters.
