The name tag seems 'useless' but it might come in handy when the filename of the dat file has been changed somehow. The (unofficial) part might be added to an mpd for example. In such a case software could unpack/restore it to it's correct name using the name tag. It could also be usefull for copy paste actions, where software could for example suggest a file name when you want to save the pasted file.
In short I do think we should ether force a consistent syntax (like now) instead of saying it's there but we don't care. In the later case I would even prefer removing it from the mandatory header lines.
