ehh?

 	Names must not include whitespace and may include a hyphen '-'
 	(unlike version and release tags).

That is, version and release are UNLIKE name.  name MAY have a 
hyphen.  by inference (and as you have seen), version and 
release may not.

The computational load from extracting this information from a 
package with --querytags is VERY HIGH, compared to simple 
textual processing
