 I think, Wordpress should redirect from address with trailing dot of
 domain to version without the dot, like it redirects from address with
 "www.".

 I have read about which version is correct and seems version without dot
 is allowed according to RFCs, and it is very widely used, and even almost
 nobody know that trailing dot can be used.

 definition of HTTP/1.1, the version of HTTP in common use, occurred in RFC
 2068 in 1997, although this was obsoleted by RFC 2616 in 1999"

 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-14.23 "The Host field value
 MUST represent the naming authority of the origin server or gateway given
 by the original URL."

 information on URL syntax and semantics, see "Uniform Resource Identifiers
 (URI): Generic Syntax and Semantics," RFC 2396 ..."
 ->
 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2396#section-3.2.2 "The rightmost domain
 label of a fully qualified domain name will never start with a digit, thus
 syntactically distinguishing domain names from IPv4 addresses, and may be
 followed by a single "." if it is necessary to distinguish between the
 complete domain name and any local domain."
