The dot below ? and ! is the full stop.

Thus implying the existence of non-dotted versions for mid-sentence usage.

Good point -- I shoulda known as IPv8 addresses use ., !, and ? to separate address parts when using "dotted" notation.

Or would they have commas as is used when the : is degrades into the less definitive ;?
