Honestly since - is overused already, its not going to hurt legibility
anymore by reusing it again. If we were going to enforce legibility
we would have a specific character designated as a field separator and
forbid it to be used in any tag field.
Doesn't the extended ascii character set include a smiley face up in
the table near the end? We could use that.. or maybe we could use the
ascii 1/2 character as the field seperator
