The HTML 'name' attribute is stripped from the wiki text before output, but is very useful for JavaScript (which can getElementsByName) and there is no drawback that I can forsee to allowing it. For example, '<div name="foo">-</div>' is output as '<div>-</div>'.
Silly scripter, names are deprecated in XHTML. <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.10>
