The lack of support for hyphens is troubling. Currently they are the only
punctuation character supported in DNS names, and one of a handful of
unreserved punctuation characters allowed in URIs. With XRIs we have found
that hyphens and dots are the two most attractive logical separator
characters from the standpoint of human readability given that spaces are
not allowed.
