Surely any notation that uses "." is a non-starter for use in HTML, since
it already has a meaning in CSS (i.e. @class)?

It seems to me that people perhaps are trying to solve the wrong problem:
the right problem being having a namespaces-like mechanism that the HTML
working group would be happy with.
