[Laszlo-dev] Can a '.' be embedded in an attribute name?

[Philip Romanik]

I looked at the test file. The strings passed to __LZprocessOperator looked 
like either,

attributes.foo
attributes.foo:color

Does OL support additional '.' If not, why can't I stop splitting the 
string if the operator is 'attributes'?

Thanks!

Phil
