I entered a cache name of S'COOL Cache which worked fine. When I tried to enter the same as a Waypoint name, I received the below exception:

Could not Add waypoint

'gpx:gpx/gpx:wpt[gpx:name='S'Cool Cache']' has an invalid token

I'm unsure if it is unreasonable to have a waypoint name with an apostrophe. Just wanted you to know about it.

    I needed to escape the waypoint name for an xpath query. Code changed and checked in. Should be in the next release.
