I really don't understand the problem with this -- in fact, I find it quite useful to distinguish inputs which may have only 1 value from those which may be multi-valued. And it all depends on what you mean by a "normal" name, of course -- no current (X)HTML spec disallows [] as part of a name attribute, so in that sense a name containing them could be seen as perfectly normal...!! ;) ;) Can you explain why this is such a hang-up for you, as I haven't seen anything in what you've posted so far to convince me it's any kind of problem?
