It's hard to see what "this" is here. You quoted my entire message, but
your question does not seem to relate to anything in it.

You didn't post the URL, and you didn't say _where_ you use "name" and
why. The odds are that you are using scripting and use "name" in <form>
element in order to be able to refer to a form in JavaScript. The
modern way is document.getElementById("foo"), for <form ... id="foo">.
Besides, for a page containing a single form, the very old way
document.forms[0] works in practice, and doesn't need "name".
