The name attribute has a long and complicated history. It has existed
for various different elements in various different versions of HTML.
HTML 4.01 adds the name attribute to some elements which didn't have it
in HTML 4.0.
XHTML 1.0 deprecates the name attribute for a, applet, form, frame,
iframe, img, and map elements. But not for button, textarea, select,
input, object, param and meta elements.
XHTML 1.1 removes it entirely from a and map elements.

What version of (X)HTML is your code trying to produce?

Nearly. Same name, different values. IDs are not required for radio
buttons.
