The name element
Release 2.0 - ...
When the name element appears as a child of element header, it is used to specify the name of a header entry to be provided to the submission protocol.
The header entry name may be given by the string content of the name element, or by the result of the value attribute. If both are given, the result from the value attribute takes precedence.
If the resulting name is the empty string, then the entry is considered to be void, and it is not supplied to the submission protocol.
