Hello,

would it be ok to allow formats with a dot in routing requests, like 
"`http://example.com/users.xml.zip`";?

If i am not mistaken, in this situation rails is only trying to match "zip" 
for format.  I doubt many people are using such routes now because the 
controller part is not correctly recognized and the route is not matched 
automatically at all, so this change should not break many applications.

I can think about a PR if i have time, i would appreciate an indication 
which source file to look at.

I understand that formats with a dot may have other issues, but i do not 
think they are serious:

```ruby
respond_to do |format|
  format.public_send(:'xml.zip') { render :'xml.zip' => @users}
end
```

What do you think?
