This bug doesn't look accurate to me, because the name attribute on a elements
is in fact listed as an obsolete feature. Specifically, <a name> is obsolete
but conforming when the value of the name attribute is non-empty, and obsolete
and nonconforming when the value of the name attribute is empty. The spec also
says:
"Authors should not specify the name attribute on a elements. If the attribute
is present, its value must not be the empty string. In earlier versions of the
language, this attribute served a similar role as the id attribute. The id
attribute should be used instead."
Which describes the former purpose and the better choice to use now.
