What's interesting is that you can use traditional DOM methods to easily
access nodes by name. According to the spec, name and id share a namespace,
and form["ident"] (same as form.ident) returns an element in the form with
the id or name "name". So you might be able to optimize your code a bit.
That said, since the spec requires name and ID to be identical, it's
technically illegal to have a name with "[" and an ID as well (since IDs
cannot contain "[").
Weird, huh?

$("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'blog[headline]']") will work. A lot slower than selecting
by id though.
