Btw, this is under the "Naming Conventions" section, see

http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#naming-conventions

As the section name indicates says this is just a convention. So,

be handling things like this.

Either way, as I said earlier I don't mind changing the property names
even if they are still (technically) valid (albeit unconventional).
