OK if they're accessible should they be named like conventional frames:

<iframe src="http://www.w3.org/" name="testFrame"><a href="http://www.w3.org/>W3C</a></iframe>

?

Thanks

It's likely to be helpful but as far as I can tell not strictly necessary.

If you are going to be using name attributes, then make sure that if you're using XHTML, you do not place an id attribute on the same element as an element with a name attribute. That's only XHTML though. You can go ahead and use both in standard HTML (which you'd probably be better off using anyway).
