In section 2.6 it reads, "The id attribute assigns a name to an 
element." I find this assertion inaccurately as names usually things 
given to things liberally without regard for uniqueness. 

Given that "id" is short of identifier anyway, I personally think that 
statement should read:

"The id attribute assigns an identifier to an element."

If the change is accepted, then the proceeding sentence would also need 
to change from:
"The given name must be unique in the binding document."

To:

"The given identifier must be unique in the binding document."
