Editor also uses the dot as an object separator just like Javascript and SQL. For example consider #myField.name - this is an id selector of #myField with a class of name. The dot can be escaped in the selector but this can make selectors look messy and is confusing for developers new to escaping selectors. As a result Editor provides this method for plug-in developers to create easy to use ("safe") ids for their input elements. The functionality of this method is simple to replace the dot with a dash (-).
