I've just fixed the XSL to avoid escaping '-' as a quick fix. I haven't
yet regenerated the pages though.

Still, ATM the PTS is not implementing this naming scheme as the
replacement is being done using the XPath function translate() which is
lacking character negation behaviour; nor anything in EXSLT permits that
IIRC.

I fear the only way to go to be in sync is doing replacement character
by character with a recursive template, or moving the name escaping to
the Python part of the PTS.

Cheers.
