The underscore character is widely substituted for the space character 
in tag keys and values, but I think the hyphen is considered OK. For the 
avoidance of doubt, in English you would write 'electronic cigarette' 
(with a space) or 'e-cigarette' (with a hyphen), but not 'e cigarette' 
(with a space).
