Yes, you may be right. HTML 4 says both that name is CDATA (not NAME
as I incorrectly linked above) and that it shares a namespace with id
(which is the ID and NAME type I linked to above).
You're definitely right that name is now deprecated. It should be
phased out when someone gets time.
Hope that helps,
