I suppose. I bet most people in your situation either use "wacky" names such as
client_zip and owner_zip, or they alias them in the query. I see no benefit in
$foo['client.zip'] instead of $foo['client_zip'] myself. Plus, you can always
just use the enumerated array instead of the associative one.

Hope that helps.
