So, I wanted the tag to have dots (.) in it, but it seems the org mode tags do not support it.
O-blog has How to use tags, and says:
Special characters used in tags:
At sign (@) is converted to a dash (-). Underscore (_) is converted to a blank ( ).
… and it seems that those are the only non letters/numbers
available. However, in experimenting, it seems that the pound sign
(#) can be used, so we simply have to add the transformation for that.
