At least for the OBO relations, they are going to be replaced by ids
with digits, so this case won't occur.
Looking through the rest of the prefixes, there is only one: PD_ST
that has an underscore. It would need to be special cased, I guess.

We're thinking of having an annotation property with the obo form of
the ID, so that might be a soln.
