Ha! No. :-) But they do have better syntax-creep

I was thinking along the lines of Debian's rules for how
binary package (.deb) files are named.[1] The underscore
becomes a field separator, and in some contexts the dash '-'
becomes a micro-separator.
But maybe that example doesn't apply so well. But it's a
similar battle: trying to avoid naming collisions.
Glad I could help!

[1] I'm not picking on Debian. I think all distros
have some kind of scheme like this.
foomatic-eq_1.0.0-5_i386
Where everyone has to be careful about dashes, underscores, dots,
and how version numbers are handled.
Are you suggesting that URLs/URIs/URNs have some native
'typo-resilience' that simple human readable text would
not have ? :-) ... The host
application has to already have support for it.
This is the first really informative answer, many thanks.
