+1 for _
I don't find HTTP header names having dashes confusing, because they all
do.

Just remember that dashes are problematic for JavaScript, since
oauth_token is a valid variable name, but oauth-token is not. So unless
you're sure this will never be a problem, +1 to underscores everywhere.
I know HTTP headers normally use dash, but if you want to use dashes for
headers and underscores everywhere, you have the burden of proof that
this won't cause too much confusion...
Thanks, js

There is no problem with underscores in headers, it is
just unusual.
