I asked this same question some months back. It should be in the archives somewhere. Tim Bray and others responded. In one case it comes down to whether or not mapping to associative array names (eg, the obj.thang) will conflict. Otherwise, it is an acceptable practice because as always XML Doesn't Care.

Subject: Q: Tag naming convention I have generally tried to avoid the use of tagnames like <first.name>, because in my limited experience, the middle tier maps object attributes to tag names, and having a period in the name messes everything up. The other day I ran across a book in use locally that uses LOTS of element names in this fashion. I was wondering if this practice has anything to recommend it. If not, should it's use be discouraged? Regards, Mike Sharp
