I prefer to convert hyphens to underscores so why would I "correct" this?

It has everything to do with this thread. The subject of this thread
is "service=drive-through or drive_through" which is not really about
drive-through lanes themselves but whether we should use hyphens or
underscores in our tag values. So giving examples of existing tags
where hyphens were converted to underscores provides an incentive to
be consistent and to use underscores instead of hyphens.
