Well, you're reading only one part of the doc...  Later in the doc:

Test names should not start with a number, and must contain only alphanumerics
and underscores.  It is suggested that lower-case characters not be used, as an
informal convention.  Dashes are not allowed.

Actually...  The snippet you pasted is from "score" which has no business
having that section.  Removed. :)  I moved/rewrote it into the section
above I pasted which is from the first rule creation command "header".

Arguably, there are different levels of "--lint": one that looks for
errors only, one that looks for errors and warnings...

I can't see any reason to not do this though, so ...  I'll add it to
head once I get the code straightened out. ;)
