Looks like a bug. From the docs and code it looks like it should (for
ca) return:

String Tag ID Value
------ ------ -----
"PV" caService::CA_TAG_PV <PV name>
"READONLY" caService::CA_TAG_RO <readonly flag>

(default TAG not supported yet).

Although CDEV obviously knows what the service data is otherwise it
wouldn't work at all.
