Had to read it up
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.4) and it states
that attribute name is of type CDATA which is defined
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-cdata) as:
--
ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be
followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"),
underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
--

So technically it seems you're right, but i havent seen a browser where

<input type="checkbox" name="B[]" value="Edoc" /> doc

does not send an array (recommendations welcome ;) )

PS. I wasn't talking about Omega at all, just plain browser behaviour.
