1) I shouldn't have mentioned dots in page names. Obviously, for
BoltWire this is "slightly" different than for other CMS's. Actually,
I meant dots in the page title.

2) Sorry, in my last I mixed things up between action.create and my
modified action.create but see below.

For action.create it's blocked now. Using 3.3. But read on.

I am already using this behavior. :) But what happens if your title is
"who is dan?"? You will be redirected to page "who_is_dan?" which will
be missing. It's title will be "who_is_dan". Obviously, this seems to
happen as BoltWire does not test for question marks in titles if you
use [session target '{=title}'].

I am not sure what the best solution is. action.create with a text
field for page name and title, with auto-fill if you enter one of
them? Creating a plugin that converts the title so you can use
[session target '{=title}'] and still get valid page names (with ?!.,
etc. removed)?
