HTML: Characters allowed for name attribute of input element?

by

Note, that not all characters are submitted for name attributes of form fields (even when using POST)!

White-space characters are trimmed and inner white-space characters as well the character . are replaced by _.
(Tested in Chrome 23, Firefox 13 and Internet Explorer 9, all Win7.)
