> The doc specifies that
> {quote}the name portion of a fullname, record field names, and enum symbols must match _[an alphanumeric regex without periods]_
> {quote}
> [https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/release-1.11.0/doc/src/content/xdocs/spec.xml#L277-L282]
> At first glance this could be read to imply that record field names and enum symbols have a "name portion" or that they could be fully qualified with a namespace, which is not the case.
> It would be simple and clear to specify that they are unqualified names at the definition of a field or enum symbol, as well as word this differently.
