May I ask why you need to have these characters in node names?

Node names are just labels; they don't need to be as meaningful as
section names.  So it's legitimate to make a node's name be a
shortened version of the corresponding section's name, and remove
those special characters in the process.  What exactly would suffer
from such shortening?
