I often see SemVar strings prefixed by a program or module name. Something like: "MyProg-v1.2.3".

I was wondering if this was currently allowed by the spec, in which case what delimiter character should be used? If not, would it be worth allowing for?

No, SemVer only covers the version. What that string denotes is typically a package/library/program name and version. So the SemVer part is 1.2.3 and only covers that part.
