Description:
With extractvalue(), I tried to use a name that contains '_'.
I got an error. There are other DBMSs that could handle this.

How to repeat:
mysql> select extractvalue('<A_B>A</A_B>','/A_B');
ERROR 1105 (HY000): XPATH syntax error: '_B'

mysql> select extractvalue('<A_B>A</A_B>','/A_B');
ERROR 1105 (HY000): XPATH syntax error: '_B'
