Actually, no. I've had customers insist on these characters (and infact, 
using - instead of _ between words in urls) because they want to be 
certain a that Google will index the words in the url. Now, I don't know 
how pagerank works (funny that!) but in this instance, I'm happy to run 
with whatever the customer wants...

Indeed. Just as long as it's possible and doesn't involve too much hoop 
jumping ;-)
