Comment:

 ocean90, Thank you for the quick response.

 The "Expected behaviour" is not always the "Right behaviour".

 I know that i can change the "name" and the even the "class" arguments.
 But i think this should be done automaticly by the system/function.

 When i use the category taxonomy, i expect to see '''name='cat'
 id='cat''''. And when i use custom taxomony, i expect it to be
 '''name='term' id='term''''.

 Furthermore, when using '''taxonomy=cat''' we don't need to set
 '''name=cat''', its done automaticly. The same behaviour shold be in
 custom taxomony.

 When $taxonomy argument is set (and $name is not) the name shold be equal
 to taxonomy.
