Only if the attribute is declared to have a fixed enumerated list of
values, which isn't the case for a name attribute.
If something is outputting name="name" as name, then it shouldn't.
html4 has
<!ATTLIST INPUT
...
name CDATA #IMPLIED -- submit as part of form --
value CDATA #IMPLIED -- required for radio and checkboxes --
checked (checked) #IMPLIED -- for radio buttons and check boxes --
so
<input checked="checked" may be written <input checked
but you can't do that with name.
