 Yes, I'd really like to have hyphens in my subsite domain names. Blaming
 all the way back to multisite import doesn't reveal any particular
 reasoning why hyphens are historically disallowed. Since hyphens are a
 normal part of the DNS system, I see no reason why they should be banned.

 I would suggest matching also for "-" in ms-functions.php.
