Indeed, s/-//g allows it to work without the 00-database-allchars.
Is this a documented feature, or just a fluke of dictfmt/dictd?

Ten should do, head revo.en.inx:
------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------
00-database-utf8        A       T
00-database-url T       w
00-database-short       BD      g
00-database-info        Bj      Bp
abacus  KLBD    fN
abattoir        fIUe    cn
abbas   KxzG    OI
abbasid KxzG    OI
abbess  K0aq    az
abbey   IzBP    BDJ
------------------------------ >8 ------------------------------

I know that the 00-* entries are out of order, and sort them myself,
yielding:
------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------
00-database-info        Bj      Bp
00-database-short       BD      g
00-database-url T       w
00-database-utf8        A       T
abacus  KLBD    fN
abattoir        fIUe    cn
abbas   KxzG    OI
abbasid KxzG    OI
abbess  K0aq    az
abbey   IzBP    BDJ
------------------------------ >8 ------------------------------
But 00-database-short is not visible (or reported via dict -D, etc.).

Either of the following work fine:
------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------
00-database-allchars        A       B
00-database-info        Bj      Bp
00-database-short       BD      g
00-database-url T       w
00-database-utf8        A       T
abacus  KLBD    fN
abattoir        fIUe    cn
abbas   KxzG    OI
abbasid KxzG    OI
abbess  K0aq    az
abbey   IzBP    BDJ
------------------------------ >8 ------------------------------

or:
------------------------------ 8< ------------------------------
00databaseinfo        Bj      Bp
00databaseshort       BD      g
00databaseurl T       w
00databaseutf8        A       T
abacus  KLBD    fN
abattoir        fIUe    cn
abbas   KxzG    OI
abbasid KxzG    OI
abbess  K0aq    az
abbey   IzBP    BDJ
------------------------------ >8 ------------------------------


Thomas and Ludovic are working with the prebuilt Reta Vortaro
dictionaries.  I don't know what tool is used to originally format
them.
