D-Bus Spec change: dashes in interface names

[Thiago Macieira]

The D-Bus Specification says this about interfaces:

==========
* Each element must only contain the ASCII characters "[A-Z][a-z][0-9]_" 
and must not begin with a digit. 
==========

DNS Domain names in ASCII are restricted to LDH - Letters, Digits, 
Hyphens. However, the spec forbids interfaces like 
org.my-organisation.Interface. On the other hand, underscores are 
permitted. Is there any strong reason why this is so?

If not, I ask for the change to be implemented as soon as possible, before 
1.0.
