aercolino is correct. We only accept IDs that are valid both in HTML documents and for CSS selectors.

Replying to [comment:2 john]:
Just to clarify, this means that you should should not use #, ., or : in your IDs as they are a part of CSS selector syntax, so the pattern becomes this:
[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_-]*
# is not a valid id starter: ''When defining fragment identifiers to be backward-compatible, only strings matching the pattern [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9:_.-]* should be used''
