That's exactly what Tim said. However, I don't think POST is that much of a problem. Problematic dots can only result from 'variable' pieces of data being put in your query string, and with POST you'd typically put the variable parts in the POST body. And even if you're not doing that, moving something from the query string to the POST body should be trivial.

I'll take a look at the revision history tomorrow to check why they were introduced in the first place.
