Gavin commented on FOR-1168:
----------------------------
See http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_8 for more details.
Mainly we know that the 'name' attribute is deprecated but usable for backwards
compatibility; and has been reduced to NMTOKEN status, and that + is a symbol
that cannot be used in the value of the 'name' attribute.
We should be looking to remove 'name' altogether in future versions, for now to
ensure backwards compatibility (as most of our documents would still be served
as text/html) we should just remove instance of + and replace with _ .

> The main 'sample.html' passes validation fine, however some other pages fail
> xhtml 1.0 strict validation. Mainly due to the use of the + symbol in name
> anchors. Not a problem for sites validating to HTML4.01.
> These pages include (but check for more)
> samples-b/usemap.html
> samples-b/xinclude.html
> samples-b/static.html
> samples-b/linking.html
> samples-b/howto-wowto.html
> samples-b/embedded_html.html
> samples-b/ascii-art.html
> locationmap/index.html
