This kind of scheme is not impossible. `.' isn't a good idea in file names or 
xml identifiers. It would be better and more consistent with the current 
scheme like
 "/" ==> "_slash_"
 ":" ==> "_colon_"
 "@" ==> "_atsign_"

It should be taken care that the 4 first letters of the word cannot be 
in a hexadecimal (ie not all small a-f).

Notice that this kind of scheme impose to have a symbol to word mapping 
instead of a symbol to ascii number mapping. And the symbol to word isn't
more intuituous in my opinion.
