We can change the format name, but I don't think it's very important.
We shouldn't change the tag names IMO. They don't need to be intuitive
at all. In my opinion tags are basically a john.pot or *2john thing.
They should never be required in input files unless used IRL (eg. $1$)
or for non-hashes produced by *2john. Other than those, tags should
"always" be used in the pot file and "never" in input files. There are
exceptions though, eg. prepared files for contest participants.
