That is why I chose this character. The "/" and "." are also forbidden
(used for lookup paths). The "." cannot be used as it is used to combine
widget names in the generated IDs, and thus would lead to a similar
problem as the current one: "-" can conflict with siblings, and "." can
conflict with children.
Do we already validate a widget id if it does not contain all of these
forbidden characters? If not, we really should check this and throw an
exception when the model is read. Early failing is better than
unpredictable results later on.
Yep. The "." and "/" are already checked in
AbstractWidgetDefinition.setCommonProperties(). We just need to add ":".
BTW, I'm ready to commit the updated stylesheets, which I tested on IE
6, Firefox and Safari.
