With regard to the hyphen, I tried padding the fields with a space,
but the padding gets trimmed again by GWT. Unfortunate, particularly
as including renaming as part of automated house-keeping is not very
good practice, even for new uploads.

Based on a separate discussion with David H., I may defer this run
until GWT can allow a custom template option; hopefully in the coming
week. Although I would like to use the default Artwork template, these
oddities of automated formatting (mandated creator template, forced
filename structure, html codes rather than characters)  are creating a
programming burden on my volunteer time that it would be sensible to
avoid.
