The issue is not about the attributes but their value; and in the example I wrote, the validator would choke on the ID's *value*. Because "1st_Section" is a valid value for the name attribute but it is *not* for the id attribute.
To expand: because the name attribute can contain any CDATA, while id *must* begin with a letter.
It's a fairly marginal advantage, though, if you ask me. P -- Patrick H.
