You should ask on the user list :) The devel-list is for those working on
the GeoServer application.
The WMS and WFS specifications dictate what is allowed as a layer name - in
particular the WFS specification should have some limitations based on the
structure of XML documents (which uses the format "prefix:identifier" -
where prefix is mapped to an XML schema namespace).
Check the specifications and let us know what you find? I expect in this
case that even if GeoServer lets you add additional characters XML parsers
and WFS clients will not be able to handle the situation.
(Note the GeoServer web application and REST API will often allow you to
configure setting that do not work, when you spot an example please report
the issue).
