There are various use-cases where you're only interested in some key preamble
values, typically surrounding name, version etc. Parsing the entire spec in
these cases is just rendundant, and subject to more version incompatibilities
than just the preamble area.
Such a mode could, at least optionally, ignore any unknown tags to allow at
least the basic bits to be queried across maximum range of rpm versions.
