The form name has a LOT of value when performing form validation in a site that uses multiple forms for which values are validated and remembered without binding the logic to the page itself. For instance, InterJinn provides a powerful form interface for creating forms, manipulating forms, and validating form input. For this to occur properly the form name is paramount, otherwise it would have no idea what data to give the user when they request a form field object, or when they validate a form's data -- be it a single page form or a multi page form with complex conditional logic.
