[TYPO3-content-rendering] TYPO3 3.8.0 XHTML strict mailform

[Patrick Broens]

In <form> the 'name' is actually deprecated, but when using the 'name' you 
must use the 'id' as well with the same value.

formelements like <input> can still use only the name, id or both together. 
They don't have to be the same value.
When you have a closer look at the Attribute Types of id and name, they are 
different. id uses ID, name uses CDATA, which means in name are more 
different characters allowed.
