you're a great one for the gratuitous insult, aren't you?

the dtd says:

<!-- name element
Like the id, but not bound by the syntactic restrictions imposed by 
XML, and may have more than one word.
-->
<!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>

i.e., the name element is *intended* to be informal, and has unchecked
content.

if you want to complain about something, in future, try checking that
your target is actually what you think it is.
