This attribute names the element so that it may be referred to from style

Uh, sorry to disappoint, but that's a description of the form element,
not of the input element or select input.
In fact, if you go to
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html#h-17.4.2
, you will see that the example form quite clearly uses name. And for
the input element,
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/interact/forms.html#h-17.4.2
says that name assigns the control name.
The attributes for the form element are completely independent of the
input elements. (Note, for things like radio buttons, using id makes no
sense. You must have multiple elements with the same name. If you used
id for these multiple elements, you would be breaking the rules of html
saying only one element can have a certain id . . .)
