name as a standard attribute

Are there any plans to make 'name' a standard attribute for all tags similar
to 'id'
so that unlike 'id' which needs to be unique within the document the 'name'
needs
to only be locally unique. Thus one can use something like:
  document.names.s1.p to access element id e3 in this document:

....
  <body>
    <p id=e1 name=p>
    <span id=e2 name=s1>
      <p id=e3 name=p>
    </span>
  </body>
....

Thanks.
