Bug #5557: Valid characters for tag metaparameter

Do we have specification for valid characters for tag similar to:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_tutorial.html#reserved-words--acceptable-characters

The following tag is valid in 0.24.8, but not 2.6.4:
tag => "FOO::.file"

In 2.6 it adds an implicit tag .file which is not valid in either 0.24.8 or 2.6.

What's inconsistent is resource names can start with ., but you can't reference 
the implicit tag. I think tags should accept the same characters as 
resource/class.
