Not sure what you mean?  I thought [a-z,A-Z,0-9,_] was fairly explicit.

I appreciate your input, but I don't feel there is a need to add 
additional separators.  Remember, these are unique module IDs not 
functional operators.  Your standard for naming glossaries sounds fine 
to me.  For example: chrisenzh would be fine for Chris' glossary from 
English to Chinese.

If you would like to add meta information to the .conf file like:
KeyLang=en
EntryLang=zh

That's fine with me.  No objections from me for adding more meta 
information.

Hope this helps.
