Lower cased and dashed strings

As I have to generate big fixtures files, I wanted to find a way to format input data the way described by start and end files. Especially the lower-cased-and-dashed ids Not so good to find a pure Vim way, that's why I submit this challenge ;)

Start file
Lôrem Ipsum
Dolor.eros
Auctor: eros (elémentum)
Tincïdunt, âc
End file
lorem-ipsum:
    name
: "Lôrem Ipsum"
dolor
-eros:
    name
: "Dolor.eros"
auctor
-eros-elementum:
    name
: "Auctor: eros (elémentum)"
tincidunt
-ac:
    name
: "Tincïdunt, âc"
