Usually, a submit button works fine without a name
attribute. However, there are occasions where there's a need to have two submit buttons for the same form, hence making use of the name
attribute to identify which button was clicked on the server side.
To clarify I am talking about: <input type="submit" name="foo">
Yes, it is entirely acceptable.
The specification has explicit rules for how to determine which submit button was successful, which would be useless if you couldn't give the element a name.
