No, I think Seaside will always use the name attribute for its own 
purposes.  Since you can always specify the id, there's no reason to 
need to change the name, and it's really, really useful for the 
framework to be able to control it.

Ok - I came to this not being aware of the problem or of the alternative - I know even less of the implementation issues!   However, if seaside is to use 'name' in a particularly special way, could there be (or should there be) a warning given when the programmer also uses it?
