Gmail's email id format issue - My discovery

Suppose the original recipient email id is -> firstname.lastname@gmail.com
Obersvation that i have made are a) Even if I use in the "To:" section the email id as
firstnam.elastname@gmail.com
the mail reaches the original id.
I have tried placing the "." in different places in the id and the mail still reaches the original email id.
So xyz@gmail.com == x.yz@gmail.com == xy.z@gmail.com
It does not matter where the "." is in the email id!
My problem here is what if there are unique ids like these? Will the mail reach the intended recipient then?
