I've realised that the name attribute is depreciated, but only for certain
elements.

Thanks to Ineke van der Maat the explanation regarding depreciated elements.

   The attribute name is not appreciated for elements as input, only on the
   <a> and <map> elements.  Here are the difference between xhtml 1.0 and
   xhtml 1.1 concerning the attribute name:

   http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/changes.html#a_changes:
   On the a and map elements, the name attribute has been removed in favor
   of the id attribute (as defined in [XHTMLMOD]).

Cheers
Tim
