As I mentioned, I based the naming restriction off of
docs/tags-and-attributes.txt which states that:
The name field is a...a 7-bit locale [if locale is omitted].
...
Each of these fields is [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_-.]*.
...
Note that my code is only checking the pkg stem (name) portion of an
fmri -- it is not restricting all the possible characters in an fmri.
As for the '/' -- that doesn't apply here as I'm just getting the pkg
stem using the fmri module. It's supposed to strip out any authority
indicators, etc.
