Yes, but this refers to anchors only. Obviously following construct 
makes no sense:

<h2 id="the-anchor">...</h2>
<p>
     ... <a name="the-anchor">An anchor</a> ...
</p>


Now there are two anchors in the document with the same namespace. Which 
one should the browser focus when clicking on a link pointing to 
"#the-anchor".

That is what is meant here. See the illegal example. Id and name 
attribute must only be the same, if you declare them both for an anchor, 
for example for backwards compatibility if you're serving XHTML as 
text/html, compare:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/guidelines.html#C_8

The name attribute is deprecated for anchors anyway.

It is perfectly valid to use different names and ids for form elements.
