I think that this is a misconception. Usually we use the underscore in keys and formal values where these are several words (in normal language separated by a space). Please also note that there is indeed some keys which do use hyphens (OK, most of them seem to derive from imports): http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=-#keys > Having two tags (drive_through=yes and service=drive-through) one with > an underscore and another with a hyphen is quite inconsistent.
