I'll give you a point on better backwards (though not forwards)

For example one can use:
<a name="1st_Section"></a>
but not:
<a id="1st_Section"></a>
Yes, you can. id is a perfectly valid attribute for a (id is a standard
attribute that, AFAIK, can be applied to any tag). Doesn't make much
sense when used as you do there (as someone said up-thread: use
<hN id="1st_Section">...</hN> instead), but there's nothing in the
standard(s) to stop you.
