Check the archives, I think the requirement came from CS&T and
there were no objections.

Correct. They wanted a localizable display name. Not everyone has
to support just one locale at a time.

I did not write that text. I'll change it to remove NAME:

  The "QUERYID" property specifies the local identifier for
  a stored "VQUERY" component. The "NAME" property specifies
  a localizable display name of a stored "VQUERY" component.
  Normally the "QUERYID" property is used when looking for a correct
  stored "VQUERY" component, or when storing a "VQUERY" component.

TARGET is used so that you can use stored QUERIES that are not in
the current CMD/TARGET, such as when you have access to more than
one calendar.
