So please choose one proposal below:
[ ] "foo.bar:input" (colon, not CSS-friendly because of IE)
[X] "foo.bar..input" (double period)
[ ] "foo.bar.input." (trailing period)
[ ] "foo.bar._input" (underscore, requires to forbid it as the
beginning of widget names)
My preference was for ':' but IE makes it not convenient.
I also think that using '_' will go in our way in the future, as we'll
use more and more direct mapping of forms with other entities, and '_'
is allowed at the beginning of identifiers in most programming languages
whereas '.' is not, as it's a kind of universal combining char (Java,
JS, SQL, Python, Ruby, etc).
