The name attribute of the form element went back in in 4.0.1. XHTML 1.0 
transitional allows it. XHTML 1.0 strict does not. This is from the 
transitional DTD:

<!ATTLIST form
   %attrs;
   action      %URI;          #REQUIRED
   method      (get|post)     "get"
   name        NMTOKEN        #IMPLIED
   enctype     %ContentType;  "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
   onsubmit    %Script;       #IMPLIED
   onreset     %Script;       #IMPLIED
   accept      %ContentTypes; #IMPLIED
   accept-charset %Charsets;  #IMPLIED
   target      %FrameTarget;  #IMPLIED
