Removal of "name" in XHTML 1.1

Since I converted the library site to CSS and XHTML 1.0 Transitional, I've been
looking ahead to 1.0 Strict or 1.1.

For backwards compatibility, I created my internal links using both the "name"
and "id" attributes.  I have read Netscape 4.x doesn't support id, and XHTML
1.1 dropped the deprecated name attribute, so where does that leave those of us
who want to support older browsers?  Is there a workaround or do we have to
stay at XHTML 1.0?

Thanks for any ideas.
