Actually, production 4 says:

    NameChar ::= Letter | Digit | '.' | '-' | '_' | ':' |
                 CombiningChar | Extender

which specifically includes '.'.  Also, at least in the latest CVS,
Verifier.isXMLNameCharacter() does indeed include '.' as being valid:

    public static boolean isXMLNameCharacter(char c) {
    
      return (isXMLLetter(c) || isXMLDigit(c) || c == '.' || c == '-' 
                             || c == '_' || c == ':' ||
isXMLCombiningChar(c) 
                             || isXMLExtender(c));
    
    }

So this seems like it ought to work with the latest CVS.
