Another case came just to my mind:

main-class="some .class . Name"

This /may/ get accepted if the dot character (. FULL STOP U+002E) has the 
semantics of an operator in fully qualified class names according to the Java 
Specification. But I am not sure about that. You'd have to look deeper into it.
