We want to remove '+' and '.' from the validator.name.valid_name_pattern for the same reason, they are not permitted in ids and classes. We should consider droping the version validator used by milestones and releases, but they must support '.'. Changing the rules will make thousands of pillars and and persons invalid, and we need a plan to deal with that.

This is not critical since fmt:css-id does the right thing now.
