Discrepancy on attributes of IMG

On this page

you list

13.2 Including an image: the IMG element
<!-- To avoid problems with text-only UAs as well as 
   to make image content understandable and navigable 
   to users of non-visual UAs, you need to provide
   a description with ALT, and avoid server-side image maps -->
<!ELEMENT IMG - O EMPTY                -- Embedded image -->
<!ATTLIST IMG
  %attrs;                              -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events --
  src         %URI;          #REQUIRED -- URI of image to embed --
  alt         %Text;         #REQUIRED -- short description --
  longdesc    %URI;          #IMPLIED  -- link to long description
                                          (complements alt) --
  name        CDATA          #IMPLIED  -- name of image for scripting --
  

--- end snip ---


and yet, any  <IMG>  tag that includes   'name'  will not validate at HTML
4.  

Can you explain this and how to properly code, for example, an image
rollover where the JavaScript is expecting 'name'?

Example source code:

<script type="text/JavaScript" >
<!--

if (document.images) {
  image1on = new Image();
  image1on.src = "productson.jpg";

  image2on = new Image();
  image2on.src = "literatureinfoon.jpg";

  image3on = new Image();
  image3on.src = "trainingcenteron.jpg";

  image1off = new Image();
  image1off.src = "products.jpg";

  image2off = new Image();
  image2off.src = "literatureinfo.jpg";

  image3off = new Image();
  image3off.src = "trainingcenter.jpg";

}

function changeImages() {
  if (document.images) {
    for (var i=0; i<changeImages.arguments.length; i+=2) {
      document[changeImages.arguments[i]].src =
eval(changeImages.arguments[i+1] + ".src");
    }
  }
}

// -->
</script>

<a href="products.html" onMouseOver="changeImages('image1', 'image1on')" 
		onMouseOut="changeImages('image1', 'image1off')"> <img
name="image1" src="products.jpg" alt="Products" border=0></a></td>
