Punctuation in flat:name #608

Description

@lauma

I would like to ask regarding validator error if UPOS is 'PUNCT', DEPREL must be 'punct' but is 'flat:name'.

What is the appropriate UD style solution to handle person names with hypherns in them, e.g., Wiki lists quite a few of them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-barrelled_name, company names like Hewlett-Packard and Yahoo!, rock band AC/DC, Europian Commission directive 80/987/EEC, law articles like Section 21002(b)(6)(B) etc.? Arguably some of these cases can be solved changing tokenization (consider punctuation mark to be part of larger token), but using it as universal solution might overcomplicate tokenization for parsers and other applications.
