[Pulp-dev] URL Word Separators

[Dana Walker]

SEO groups universally answer hyphens (option 2) over underscores as Google
evidently parses the former as word separators and the latter as word
joiners.  While we don't care about search rank for our purposes, it seems
good to remain consistent with the preferred route nowadays (even though I
personally like underscores as I find them easier to read even though
hyphens are faster to type).  Here's just one example [0], but I skimmed
many and they're consistent.
