I can confirm that it is not illegal per se because the following works. I hope
that the backslashes and everything go through properly.

ogrinfo WFS:http://188.64.1.61/cgi-bin/tinyows
 -sql "select \"nom.dept\" from \"tows:dot.test\""

It is an open WFS server and you can test it with ogrinfo and from your code
too. However, I will remove the dot.test feature type sooner or later. Verify
and make your code to work in a similar way than ogrinfo.
