All of @label, @help, @hint, and @alert are AVTs, right?

(Different topic, but it can make sense to have hint/help on
item/itemset, especially for the full appearance.)

That seems reasonable.

We had suggested supporting this at some point. It wasn't too keen on
it initially as that was the opposite of HTML's <option>, but the
benefit is that the syntax is lighter than adding a nested <value>
