Yes, it would have been, but this isn't a supported character...
see last section of 
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s02.html

IMHO we could also add more allowed characters to the spec, but experience 
tells me
that trying to get stuff into the desktop entry spec is pretty hard. Maybe at 
the next freedesktop
meeting, when we have more people involved with that...

(KDE supports any character in there, and uses '\' for escaping, and even 
supports \x2d escaping).
