Depends on exactly what version of jade you're using, and whether
you're using XML or not.  Vanilla jade supports the SGML reference
concrete syntax, which allows hyphen and full-stop in names, but not
underscore.  Recent distributions of jade include support for XML,
which is only complete if you use xml.dcl as distributed with jade.
This adds underscore as a name character.
