The issue is not about the attributes but their value; and in the example I

To expand: because the name attribute can contain any CDATA, while id
*must* begin with a letter.
Which, of course, I should know. I must've hit my head or something.
It's a fairly marginal advantage, though, if you ask me.
I agree.
