Hmm, so was dot, which is what TSS and MTS used.
DEC was using it as
the <base>.<ext> separator, but I think Ken could have used it as easily

file was in the name was foreign to UNIX (although was used in other
systems as we know).
OS/360's JCL used "." (partitioned datasets?) such as SYS1.WATFIV.blah and
so on.
