That just means you can't traverse to it with attribute notation. For 
instance::

  self.plone.index.html

will not look for 'index.html' but rather the 'html' inside 'index'.

Same goes for dashes::

  self.plone.try-me

will try to subtract the value of the 'me' variable from the value of 
'self.plone.try'. But usually it will fail in trying to look up the 
first value.

In such cases, you can use "subscript" notation::

  self.plone['try-me']

or getattr (which doesn't use acquisition.)
