Comment(by filosofo):

 Replying to [comment:3 hakre]:
 > name and id are technically the same.

 I'm not sure why you would say this.  Their definitions and standard data
 types differ (CDATA for name, NAME for id).

 Also, their practical uses differ: if someone wants to have a pages select
 element appear in multiple places in the document, he must change the id
 attribute but not necessarily the name attribute.
