I've seen many sites that refuse '+', but for now, no site that refuses '-'. unfortunately, I am not happy with using '-' because: - many french names have a '-': "jean-pierre", ... - '-' is used in mailing-lists up so far, I have pcre maps for specific users to alias joe-ext to joe+ext. but I will be moving to using '-' with a subdomain: joe-extens...@silly.$domain where "joe" is necessarily '-' free (so jean-pierre would be jpierre, ...etc. while he could complain for the "normal" domain, he can't complain for @silly.$domain, since this is done to help him).
