My javascript isn't fluent enough to do it like that. Also, sometimes 
you want to generate it from php, because you need information from a 
database or something.

Well, actually it means it doesn't matter what you choose and is 
actually an argument FOR using dashes, because you can mix them.

What I actually meant to say was that I switched to using underscores 
BEFORE I knew they were internally changed anyway. Because I wanted to 
do $control->extra_attributes = $foo and don't want to be stuck always 
doing $control->set('extra-attributes', $foo).

But you can go ahead and change it. It doesn't break code.
