IIRC the "Header" gets actually rendered in the frontend, the "Name"
does not. So the name is only there to identify the HTML-item in the
backend (as you probably put your own header definition in pure HTML
into the content element) whereas the header elements go through the
normal lib.stdheader rendering procedure.

If my remembering is right one could of course argue, that people who
don't want the header displayed in the frontend could use the "hidden"
layout type so that we can render the HTML header like the other
headers. It's more consistent, easier to understand for editors and more
convenient for those that want their HTML elements to have headers.

Regards,

Susanne
