Title:
does it? i scanned 1.90 and could only find this...
[C20] and [B21] The Dictionary Entry Name shall not use non-letter characters
unless required by language
The OED says the word is "E-mail", so language requires a hyphen.
Moreover, the CCTS then goes on to state that ...
[B26] ... Qualifier Terms shall be separated from their associated Object
Class or Property Term by an underscore (_) followed by a space to separate
each qualifier...
- which means Dictionary Entry Names (for BIEs) can contain "_" as well
as "." and " ". i would say these are all non-letter characters. (and break
rules C20 and B21)
My original comment stands, Dictionary Entry Names may contain non-letter
characters (e.g. hyphens). I don't see this as a problem. They already
conatin other non-letter characters such as underscore, period/full stop
and spaces.

We should never have dictionary entry names with "-". Our dictionary entry names must be fully conformant with CCTS which specifically prohibits this.
