Description Ville Skyttä 2002-10-25 22:59:50 UTC 
Display an error when both the name and id attributes are used and their values
are different.
Comment 1 Frank Ellermann 2003-02-17 19:32:55 UTC 
An old (?) version of checklink reported errors for fragment
differences on the linked page. This was confusing, because I
was interested in problems with my links, and couldn't do much
about errors in the linked texts. IIRC it was the fragment
#omitted attributes in the ISO HTML specification... I solved
this "problem" finally by removing my link to it ;-)

In other words, matching name= with id= should be done by a
XHTML validator and not necessarily by checklink.
