The Name Identification Module defines the attribute name for *a collection of elements*. Form control elements like "input" are not in this collection, since the name attribute on those elements is not intended to define a unique anchor but to assign a control name, which may be shared by several form controls. This module and its deprecation has nothing to do with the name attribute on form control elements. Regards, -- Masayasu Ishikawa / mimasa@w3.org W3C - World Wide Web Consortium
