Answer
Whether URLs containing "." (dot) character do or do not work is dependant on web server configuration.
The safest solution, and also advantage for SEO, is not to allow JoomSEF to include "." character to SEF URLs. This can be configured in JoomSEF options, by adding "." to the set of characters to be stripped of SEF URLs.
This does not apply to the file extensions as ".htm", ".html", ".phtml" or similar. We however recommend not to use file extension in SEF URLs as well.
