It's unfortunate because hyphens really should be avoided in URLs.

Why? Due to SEO penalization?

The old reason was because in radio ads, saying the domain with the dash was confusing.

A friend of mine just registered a domain name with a made-up spelling of regular words kind of like "leet-speak". The two of us are the only ones who can type it from memory, which is not good.
