Description
Today I learned that you can't use the "isindex" value for the name attribute of e.g. :
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#attr-fe-name
Neither is an empty name allowed, but tyxml accepts both:
let _ = Tyxml.Html.(input ~a:[a_name "isindex"]) ()
let _ = Tyxml.Html.(input ~a:[a_name ""]) ()
It is personally not a problem for me, but since you advertise in the README that "TyXML is a library for building statically correct HTML5 [...] documents" I thought I would let you know :D

Research direction
Start with the Tyxml.Html input example and the a_name attribute constructor mentioned in the issue, then trace how name values are checked. Determine how the existing validation represents the two rejected values and verify that both examples are handled as invalid without weakening other input attributes.
