I ran a query with HTTPArchive
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cpjWFoXBiuFYI4zb9I7wHs7uYZ0ntbOgLwH-mgqXdEM/edit>,
in particular, the following query:

SELECT page, url
FROM `httparchive.all.requests`
WHERE
date = '2023-09-01' AND
client = 'desktop' AND
is_main_document AND
REGEXP_CONTAINS(response_body, r
'(?is)<details[[:space:]][^>]*?[[:space:]]name(=|[[:space:]]|>)')

This produced 6 urls (for 7 pages; two of them redirect to the same URL).
I did view-source: of the 6 urls and based on visual inspection found that
0 of the 6 would be broken by shipping this feature.  In more detail:

   - 3 of the 6 (associated with the same site, mailchimp.com) had multiple
   <details> elements, on each of which the name and id attributes had the
   same value, and these values were properly unique (at least among the
   <details> elements)
   - 1 had a single <details> with name="somename"
   - 1 had a single <details> with name="body" and id="body"; there were
   other elements with this name/id, but none of the others were <details>
   - 1 had a single <details> element with a unique-ish looking name

So none of the pages found used the name attribute in a way that would be
affected by shipping this feature (i.e., multiple <details> elements with
the same name).

No.  I sent the intent before the PR was merged.  I do still need to follow
up on a piece of the discussion there and file an issue on html-aam, though.
