Those aren't examples of a rule that would justify "Workgroup/Domain
name:" - I understood you to be saying that disjunctions can cause
the duplication of sentence boundary markers, such as initial
capitalisation.  But we don't write:

 Oven- and Dishwasher-safe dishes go in here.
 Angels can dance both on pin-heads. and -points.
 Over/Underweight people can have trouble buying clothes.
