Issue anchor tag name attribute is deprectated

Expected behaviour should be replaced by the global title id attribute or removed

zecakeh commented 2 months ago

MDN actually says to replace it with id, not title.

Given that the use case for this attribute is to be able to use the anchor as a link's target, I am wondering what is its intended use case for Matrix messages in the first place, since URLs in href are not permitted to be relative.

In my opinion it should just be removed.
