I am not completely sure here, but I thought 'name' was deprecated in favour 
od 'id' and 'id' is allowed everywhere. If that is true, then I'd say that we 
should add this for compatibility reasons to forms and nowhere else. And not 
support it at all if we are in strict parsing mode. But my recollection of 
this is a bit too fuzzy to make exact statements - I don't know it exactly 
myself anymore...
