Iframes were defined in the HTML 4 standard and continue to be in the XHTML 1 standard as well. While not the most definitive link you can see how attributes are to be applied to Iframes at http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/ *************** XHTMLT 1.0: The Extensible HyperText Markup Language A Reformulation of HTML 4 in XML 1.0 W3C Recommendation 26 January 2000 <snipped> 4.10 The elements with 'id' and 'name' attributes HTML 4 defined the name attribute for the elements a, applet, form, frame, iframe, img, and map. HTML 4 also introduced the id attribute. Both of these attributes are designed to be used as fragment identifiers. In XML, fragment identifiers are of type ID, and there can only be a single attribute of type ID per element. Therefore, in XHTML 1.0 the id attribute is defined to be of type ID. In order to ensure that XHTML 1.0 documents are well-structured XML documents, XHTML 1.0 documents MUST use the id attribute when defining fragment identifiers, even on elements that historically have also had a name attribute. See the HTML Compatibility Guidelines for information on ensuring such anchors are backwards compatible when serving XHTML documents as media type text/html. Note that in XHTML 1.0, the name attribute of these elements is formally deprecated, and will be removed in a subsequent version of XHTML. **************** Only the use of 'name' instead of 'id' is depreciated.
