In any event, it is pretty obvious that you would just put in the name without the hyphen and let it clump together.
Well, they use the term 'exactly'. A person named John Doe-Smythe is not the same as John DoeSmythe. Remember that we're dealing with both the airlines and TSA. If it can be screwed up resulting in a passenger not flying then between those two they will move both heaven and earth to do so.
