Hi

From https://docs.npmjs.com/creating-a-package-json-file the current text states:

The "name" field contains your package's name, and must be lowercase and one word, and may contain hyphens and underscores.

It appears that dots can also be used, here's an example of package name with a dot: gssapi.js https://www.npmjs.com/package/gssapi.js

I think this should also be mentioned in the doc.

Thanks.
