CForms do not allow anymore dots '.' in widget id
-------------------------------------------------

         Key: COCOON-1727
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1727
     Project: Cocoon
        Type: Bug
  Components: Blocks: Forms  
    Reporter: Jean-Christophe Kermagoret
    Priority: Blocker


I just can't use my forms anymore in 2.2 version because I use dots in my 
widget id. Unfortunately, I usually use the widget id to create the 
corresponding xml element name, and xml element names may contain dots '.'

The code in AbstractDefinitionBuilder says it does not permit '.' because of 
path conflicts. Is it true, and in that case in which part of the code ? Or is 
it just a precaution ? This may oblige developers to change a lot of things in 
their forms and code related, which is not a very good news :-( if they want to 
use 2.2

I should suggest to remove the dot test, or to add compatibility test, that 
should permit to keep the old naming scheme.
