Agreed, but as John points out, it *was* legal (intentionally or not) so
this is a breaking change for some people.
Being a breaking change, I would vote for backing it out until something
can be decided that will not break existing systems.
Is there any value that current is not valid in a key that would work
instead of a dot?
Thanks,
Trevor
