{{#subobject::}} vs {{#subobject::-}}

The syntax for anonymous identifiers used to be either {{#subobject:-}} or {{#subobject:}}, i.e. either a hyphen or a blank. Apparently, the documentation no longer mentions the former. Why so? Will it be deprecated in SMW 1.9?

The unit test covers both cases in SMW 1.9 (and as long as the unit test supports both notion it is not deprecated).
