So it already flip-flop'ed in the short history

 TH2early (not stripped),
 TH2late  (stripped),
 TH3/TP   (not stripped),

?

I agree then that stripping the dash from description might not be so
end-of-world as I initially thought.

I'm maybe one of the very few who currently depend on the exact
descriptions but I can probably even change my evaluation tools.

Kind regards,
