Rustom is referring to the fact that the `name' attribute has been
marked obsolete in HTML5.

While the html5 spec suggests using the id attribute on a surrounding
container rather than a named anchor, the id attribute is still valid
on an anchor in html5.

In fact, ox-html already has support for handling the issue:

(defcustom org-html-allow-name-attribute-in-anchors t
"When nil, do not set \"name\" attribute in anchors.
By default, anchors are formatted with both \"id\" and \"name\"
attributes, when appropriate."
:group 'org-export-html
:version "24.4"
:package-version '(Org . "8.0")
:type 'boolean)


Rustom-

For now, just set this variable to nil and the anchors will be
exported with an id and no name attribute. If `org-export-allow-BIND'
is true, putting the following in the head of the document will work:

#+BIND: org-html-allow-name-attribute-in-anchors nil

Bastien-

I will look at making this the default when i have time if the doctype
is html5 (`org-html-html5-p' is true), but it requires some work to
get the info structure passed down to `org-html--anchor'.
