In 1990, the French Academy made some changes to the "official" French language, one of which was to recommend that all numbers use hyphens.
Because this reform came so recently (when considered in relation to the history of the language), this recommendation is still far from being used universally. We should certainly make sure that we are following it in our software though, especially for the sake of consistency.
