As Manos says, you can prefix them. For example

<_1-1>sdgdfgdfg</_1-1>

But reading between the lines, I strongly suspect that a better document
design would be something like:

<element section="1" subsection="1">sdgdfgdfg</element>

Generally any kind of microsyntax appearing within element names is evidence
of poor design.
