@annevk thanks for the answer. 

I now understand that the "slot" attribute of a slotable sets the slotable "name". Everywhere else in the document, a slotable's "name" refers to what is set in the "slot" attribute, so everything is consistent. I was just confused that an attribute named "slot" could set something called a "name" and assumed this was an error.

Not sure more examples are needed here. If a slotable's name was referred to as "slotName" instead of "name", it would have been easier to understand for me but I am not used to read specs. 

Closing this, thanks for taking the time to answer!
