Dear @Dave-Allured
Thanks for raising this issue. It is relevant to #528 and discussion 323, so I've flagged it in both. Since the proposal to add this sentence was accepted as an enhancement
, with the required amount of support being expressed, I don't think we can reverse that decision as a defect
i.e. if no-one objects. I think we need support for your proposal to remove the sentence as a new enhancement
, so I'll change the label.
Best wishes
Jonathan
@JonathanGregory, thanks for switching the label. That is fine with me.

Detailed Proposal
Revert PR #478. Remove this single line from section 2.3, Naming Conventions: "ASCII period (.) and ASCII hyphen (-) are also allowed in attribute names only."
This line was based on my misunderstanding of an earlier version of 2.3 paragraph 1. That paragraph was later clarified by PR #526, which now says that character restrictions are a recommendation, not a requirement. Therefore this new sentence is redundant and confusing.
