I have come across some that make some very strange abrieviations, OK as Oklahoma (flite) and MS as manuscript (realspeak). To get back to the original question, I don't know if punctuation can be used in these files, it might require some special codes to be used like in python programming when using punctuation in strings (e.g. \.).
