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."
