It depends. If what is going to process the document is a regular browser,
the NAME attribute is what matters. Future browsers will have to handle
current HTML compatibly. So there is no point in removing the NAME attribute.
BTW, you may want to look into this forms generation and validation class
that outputs XHTML compatible code although it is up to the developer to
specify the ID attribute or not.
