Fair enough.

The CSS Reference Guide says " While the JavaFX CSS parser will parse valid CSS syntax, it is not a fully compliant CSS parser." Escaped characters is a case in point.

Having an id with a dot is not valid CSS syntax.

 From the spec: " An ID selector contains a "number sign" (U+0023, #)
immediately followed by the ID value, which must be an CSS identifiers."

An identifier is defined here:
https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#value-def-identifier. The tldr;
is that an identifier cannot contain a dot.
But in the link you referenced it says:

"Identifiers can also contain escaped characters and any ISO 10646 character as a numeric code (see next item). For 
instance, the identifier "B&W?" may be written as "B\&W\?" or "B\26 W\3F"."

Wouldn't that include an escaped dot as a valid character for a CSS identifier?
