I've asked over at the Jekyll github repo, where they clearly had this 
discussion and went for "simplicity" for users by eliminating the option of 
using dots, which had been added to the original (and now again current) 
practice of only allowing hyphens. Their issue 3138 
<https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/pull/3138> has a rather derogatory 
reference to "bending to the will of pandoc", which completely ignores the 
issue of actual YAML standards, raised by several people.
