That's bogus. You can't search for "latin-1" on Google, it isn't strict
enough. The third hit is a url containing "latin1" and a title of "Latin
1". And it picks up things like "Latin 1: The Easy Way", which is a book
on Latin.

However, you *can* search much more strictly on Google Code Search,
which gives 4,014 ("latin-1") to 13,597 ("latin1").

http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&lr=&q=%28\%22latin1\%22|\%27latin1\%27%29&sbtn=Search
http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&lr=&q=%28\%22latin-1\%22|\%27latin-1\%27%29&sbtn=Search

So, no, I don't think the development world aligns with your pedantry.
That's not to say this is a popularity contest, but then let's not cite
google hit counts as proof.
