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 [p.23] 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.
