Title: Doesn't like full-stops at end of name

Great expression but if there is a full stop at the end of the name the script doesn't allow the name. For mildly complex names, the browser goes into a tail-spin (IE7 never recovers). For example:-
Miss Mary Smith-Jones J.P.
Will cause IE7 to hang completely. Firefox 2.x complains of an unresponsive script and gives you the option to kill it.
