See [1] & [2}. It's too soon to move to the new tags as they have just been
documented/introduced (for the new one) and deprecated (for the old one) in
the latest 1.0 Appstream release which requires changes for distributions
to adopt and thus won't be the norm for a while.

It's thus fine to use the old ones for now.
