HTML5 has removed the name attribute of <a> elements, as far as I can
see.  It will probably end up requiring implementers to support it but
prohibiting authors from using it -- that's their solution to
backward-compatibility cruft (which is a lot better than the XHTML one
of pretending no web pages from 1995 still exist and/or having a
two-tier system where everyone ignores the Strict tier).
