      I would second the use of dash because  I use it,  and have 
seen others use it regularly,  as a delimiter between application name 
or ID and the version or release.   That is,  there is precedent for 
dash to be used as a marker between specific and non-specific: 

Besides the fact that I only know of one product which uses "-" as a
subaddress separator and several which use "+", there's a show-stopper for
using "-".  Many sites use the firstname(_dot_)lastname(_at_)host naming 
convention
and many people have "-" in their last names.
