The W3C validator does not follow this rule (name attribute must be 
duplicated into id attribute). The following source code is checked as 
valid XHTML 1.0 Strict:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
       "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
   <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; 
charset=iso-8859-1" />
   <title>test</title>
   <meta name="generator" content="Amaya, see http://www.w3.org/Amaya/" />
</head>
<body>
<p>Text: <input type="text" name="text[1]" /></p>
</body>
</html>

So, is it a bug of the W3C Validator?

Best regards,
Barto
