I would prefer, if LyX did not accept "illegal" characters in a label, so I
am able to find this label in the form I entered in the LaTeX output (which
I share with my co-workeres) and in the LyX source (which I tend to edit
with regexp-replace from time to time.
But maybe others prefer automatic conversion in order to have easier
remembrable labels.
