I've never put square brackets in shared names, but it looks like
loads of people do, perhaps PHP does some 'magic' so you don't have to
include the square brackets when referring to those fields.  The
example given in the HTML spec doesn't use square brackets
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.10).
