It breaks HTML standard No, it does not break HTML standards -- that is a PHP urban myth (which, to my chagrin, I helped to propagate before a wiser head sent me to read said standards in minute detail). It does not even break XHTML standards. Believe me -- I've interrogated the damn standards to within an inch of their lives, and they nonetheless insist that [] are legal characters in form element name= attributes, and form element name= attributes are *not* deprecated.
