I am assuming the dash will someday cause me problems, so I just
escape it now, to avoid a lot of re-work.
I don't expect an unescaped dash to cause trouble
as it has, AFAIK, no meanings in code.

OK, I'm always up for new Best Practices, but I do need some basis for
adopting changes.
I escape double quotes and ampersands because of the HTML is

I've always thought that characters should be marked up with appropriate
