I tried building a testcase and it appeared that the problem was not id-with-dash related, it's the radio buttons validation that simply wasn't working at all !
There's a demo of radio buttons validating at http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/radio-checkbox-select-demo.html but it is using the validate="required:true" attribute to do so, and this breaks the w3c validation of the code... I've eventually found by trial and error that it is working if I use the name attribute instead of the id attribute in the rules : rules: { genre: { required: true } } Now I just have to sort out the place where the error message is displayed and that'll be fine. I hope this can help others when they encounter that same problem...
