I was wondering why the weblog handle is limited to alphanumeric characters.
We would find it really useful to allow, say dashes or underscores, but
we're worried that defeating the validtion and doing this would cause
problems down the road.
Are strict alphanumeric handles still necessary or are they a legacy
restriction?
We restrict handles to alphanumerics to ensure that they can safely be
used in URLs. Perhaps that is overly restrictive, but I don't see a
great need to change (at least not until we have IRI support).
That said, I don't think allowing underbars or dashes will break anything.
