Github user twogee commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/ant-ivy/pull/73 Keeping `':'` would require XML report to deal with all those pesky namespaces, because it must be a valid XML. Using a simple `'-'` as a separator may cause trouble if somebody decides to use a namespace prefix with `'-'`. That's why I insist on something less likely to be used. I hope dev list would comment, too. +1 for placing codec routines into `ExtendableItemHelper`.
