Changes look good. The section on the id attribute mentions the use of id as a fragment identifier: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-id-attribute I think it would be worth adding a similar note to the description of the name attribute, perhaps something like: "An a element's name attribute can be used for a variety of purposes, most notably as a way to link to specific parts of a document using fragment identifiers." or perhaps: "An a element's name attribute can be as a way to link to specific parts of a document using fragment identifiers. The id attribute is recommended instead for this purpose." Regards, Maciej
