Comment:
I'm inclined to agree with @cbabs on this one. I can't see any compelling
reason why a dash is helpful as a token in kwarg on a template tag. The
fact that they're legal for the name of the template tag itself strikes me
as an accident of parsing history, not strong design. Introducing dashes
into kwarg syntax seems to me like something that would be syntactically
ambiguous, and would open up a treasure trove if annoying edge case bugs.
Marking won't fix; if anyone is particularly driven to argue the counter
position, please open a thread on Django-dev.
