    Subject: bug: <FORM name= ...> in HTML 4.01 Transitional
    
    
    Validator.w3.org says that "name" attribute doesn't exist in <FORM> in
    HTML 4.01 Transitional. DTD and HTML specification (17.3) says that
    "name" is implied.
    
    <!ELEMENT FORM - - (%flow;)* -(FORM)   -- interactive form -->
    <!ATTLIST FORM
      %attrs;                              -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events --
      action      %URI;          #REQUIRED -- server-side form handler --
      method      (GET|POST)     GET       -- HTTP method used to submit the form--
      enctype     %ContentType;  "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
      accept      %ContentTypes; #IMPLIED  -- list of MIME types for file upload --
      name        CDATA          #IMPLIED  -- name of form for scripting --
      onsubmit    %Script;       #IMPLIED  -- the form was submitted --
      onreset     %Script;       #IMPLIED  -- the form was reset --
      target      %FrameTarget;  #IMPLIED  -- render in this frame --
      accept-charset %Charsets;  #IMPLIED  -- list of supported charsets --
