It may not be enforced by the UI, but it is worth keeping the restriction
in mind.

I expect the restriction comes from:
a) the XML Schema specification[1]
b) the WMS / WFS / WCS specification

I also noted that you can type illegal characters when naming a Layer
resulting in a GetCapabilities document that cannot be parsed. Basically do
not view the web administrative (or the REST API) validation as
authoritative (or even consistent).
