Comment(by hakre):

 function is shortcode_parse_atts() in wp-includes/shortcodes.php

 the parsing is done by regular expressions.

 word limiters are used, I guess dashes are not supported by them.

 I wonder if it makes sense. This problem can for easier besolved by
 clarifying the documentation, the regular expression pattern is already
 quite complex.
