OK, I think we have provided ample arguments for both sides. Only

I think it would be good to set a guideline for future tag creation.
That guideline should reflect existing tags, which the consumers can
already recognize and can process without crashing. It might look like:
all lowercase
no spaces
replace spaces with underscores
hyphens allowed
In the case of the existing drive-through / drive_through, it is just
a token, and the actual value doesn't matter (so say the readers of
160-some other languages). It is worth choosing a single tag based on
existing convention - what is already tagged, editor presets, rendering,
etc. I realize the last sentence won't clear up the argument, but
that's my opinion.
