Anchor links to name="" throwing errors #86

When a link is to an anchor it will throw an error if that anchor isn't declared as an id. This should pass if the anchor is declared within the name attribute also.

The code below is valid but is throwing an Error because top isn't declared as an id.

<h1 name="top">Heading</h1>
<a href="#top">back to top</a>
