I checked it on several packages; for example, when I removed Name,
Version, Release, Group, Summary, License, URL, BuildArch, SourceX,
PatchX from F-10's dcobook-dtds, rmplint happily answered

0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings.

It seems to me rpmlint _will not_ fail if the tag is not around,
therefore I feel free to file a bug report.
