Probably not.  Thanks for bringing this case to my attention.

I could change illegal characters in if_xname to dashes or to
underscores in the sysctl node name.  Or I could name the node after the
if_index instead of after the if_xname, if the if_xname contains illegal
characters.  I guess that I like the latter idea better.  What do you
think?
