yes, you can do all the things you could do with name also with class, but 
you could also do all the things you can do with class with the id

but this is not the question, i think there are more elements/attributes 
which could be removed and their targeted using could be reached another way


id = unique per document, one per element
class = non-unique, more per element

name = non-unique, one per element

it is common to change classes of an element on the fly or dynamic

name shouldn't

classes are overlapping, names not

it makes things more clear
