http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#defs 4.10:
"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 on the elements listed above. See the HTML
Compatibility Guidelines for information on ensuring such anchors are
backward 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."
So for my understanding <a id="top"></a> should be allowed since HTML 4.0
(1998), and have to be used since XHTML 1.0 (2000).
Jörg.
