Re: name / id attribute usage

Yeah, my mistake.  Please disregard that part of my post.

They're used to uniquely identify elements.  Fragment identification is one
application of that.  Selection for styling is another.  That's not exactly
a "DOM operation".

DW> Radio buttons, or multiple forms require the

Do you have a reference for that in the spec?

Then I imagine they especially will appreciate my reminder.
