That's why many people tend to use camelcase i think...

 Hi I'm looking for info on best practices for creating XML and using
 hyphens inside the XML.
 
  
 
 The reason being that a feed that I'm having to work through contains
 the node language-block ln=en which makes it awkward to get at due
 to the '-'.
 
  
 
 I can only find one doc which isn't enough weight to get the XML changed
 to be something like languageBlock ln=en when they've been using
 language-block ln=en for years, even though I'm sure it's a 5 min
 job to change it.  
 
  
 
 if you're interested I'm having to do something like
 xml[language-block].(@ln == _language) rather than the standard way of
 just doing xml.language-block.(@ln == _language).
 
  
 
 It may not be best practice, but I'd like it if it was J.
 
 Cheers.

I'm thinkng you could just use

yourXML.child('language-block').(attribute==_language)

which is the recommended syntax anyway.
