[#34492] - [4.0] uitab validation errors

Steps to reproduce the issue
Use https://validator.w3.org/nu/#textarea to validate a page containing uitabs (article edit form).
It flags errors:
Error: Attribute name not allowed on element section at this point.
<section id="dateSelect" name="Dates">
One for every tab.
If I change libraries/src/HTML/Helpers/UiTab.php so that line 92 has data-name rather than name AND
I change media/vendor/joomla-custom-elements/js/joomla-tab.js so that line 246 has data-name rather than name
then the tabs still work and do not cause validation errors.
Is this something to worry about? Should it be fixed?

<section id="dateSelect" name="Dates">
This shouldn't be a section element but a custom element and then the name attribute is totally valid. That said there are other more serious problems with the joomla-tabs custom elements...
I decided to roll my own tabs so I am not pursuing this. However, I am leaving it open because I don't think Joomla should release 4.0 knowing some pages will fail validation.
How disappointing
How disappointing
What's actually disappointing is that you personally cancelled all my attempts to fix the custom elements. Count this comment also as another one

name is not a valid element for a section
data-* is ignored by all checkers so will pass any test and its usually used if you need to pass something to javascript
