Correct.  The issue is that the spec says:

The dash "-" character is used to separate levels of specificity in icon 
names, for all contexts other than MimeTypes.

Does that mean that that is the *only* use of the dash.  I think that it 
should be, and that is the way that I read it -- if there is a dash in a 
non-MimeType name, then it indicates a separation of levels  of specificity.
