What characters are allowed in the HTML Name attribute inside input tag?

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.)
