That's right. The ID tag is the "new" thing. However old browsers don't recognize the ID attribute, so it's not a bad thing to place both ID and NAME in elements if you're aiming for maximum accessibility.

In forms, name is used to send the data (in the form of "name=value"), you don't usually enter a name for a submit input because the user cannot change its value.

"ID" is the XHTML replcement for name... i think it's called depracation or something. You will want to use both the Name and Id attribute until XHTML has fully replaced HTML, so that older browsers will be able to handle it.
