Hi All,

I've been looking through the spec for clarification on whether URIs can
be used inside the name= attribute on form elements:

<input type="text" name="http://ex.org/ns#name";...

in addition the following syntax:

name="uri[uri]"

Any clarification?

The <input name> attribute is described in http://whatwg.org/html#attr-fe-name where the only conformance requirement is:

  "If the attribute is specified, its value must not be the empty string."

and I don't believe there are any other restrictions on it, so any URI (and any other string) except "" is allowed. (You might want to also avoid the names "isindex" and "_charset_" since they have special processing behaviour in certain cases, though.)
