Description
It appears dots are not allowed in site title when creating a site using WebUI or trying to rename it either with Set-PnPSite or SharePoint Online Admin Center.
However, when I use New-PnPSite and specify Alias
There is a restriction in PnPFramework:
https://github.com/pnp/pnpframework/blob/29e8d01aff7899f0aa1f355f14113b2d30b90dfa/src/lib/PnP.Framework/Utilities/UrlUtility.cs#L224
Please kindly advise if you can adjust that restriction by any chance? It does not really make a lot of sense to me having such limitations for SharePoint Online Sites.
Thanks in advance!

Research direction
Start at src/lib/PnP.Framework/Utilities/UrlUtility.cs around line 224 and inspect the restriction applied to site titles or aliases. Compare the behavior described for New-PnPSite with WebUI, Set-PnPSite, and SharePoint Online Admin Center; done means valid site titles containing dots are accepted without weakening unrelated URL validation.
