    Yes, boring UBLNames are good enough.  The important thing is
    for developers feel safe about mapping UBLNames directly
    into programming language's variable or type name spaces in 
    a consistent manner without exception treatments of particular 
    UBLNames (such as those with punctuations).
    
    Given that, is there another NDR ruling on the casing of
    the word segment that comes after the hyphen?  For instance,
    CountrySub-Entity  will, in 0p80 and after, become
    CountrySubEntity or CountrySubentity?
    
    Will E-mail and E-Mail become Email or EMail?
    
    Is there a casing rule for that given that UBLNames shall
    have no punctuations in 0p80 and further?
