I am using Sigil 0.5.3

When I create the TOC, it generates named anchors for each of the targeted headers. It uses the "name" attribute of the anchor tag. However, when I click the green check to validate, it complains that "name" is not a valid attribute for an anchor (which is incorrect).

It turns out that you can use "id" the same way you use "name" in an anchor. And if I change all the named anchors to id from name, the validate works fine.

I realize that the verify library was not written by the sigil authors- however, I'm surprised that sigil generates TOC code that does not pass validation.
