Hello,

Recently I noticed that HTML5 allows the name-attribute on a fieldset. This was not the case in HTML4.0.1.
I did some tests and noticed that this name is *not* part of the POSTed data when submitting a form? So I was wondering when and for what purpose this name-attribute should or could be used?

Thanks.
