Note that the OpenPGP standard doesn't like people to use any tag name
they like ("info" in the above example).  The standard asks that
people who want to make up their own tags use a tag name like
"info@some.domain.com".  You can use your email address for example,
but the only important thing is that it has a '@' in there somewhere.

1.2.2 enforces this, by the way.
