Good catch. In ePAPR v1.1, I could not find any strict requirement. It
is just saying:

The recommended format is “manufacturer,model”, where manufacturer is a
string describing the name of the manufacturer (such as a stock ticker
symbol), and model specifies the model number.

If I am not mistaking, the stock ticker symbol will not contain exotic
characters, but it is not always available. So we should probably add
the '-. I am not sure for the '_'.
