When I gave a conference presention introducing HTML 5 the content
parsing of <progress> was one of two points to get spontaneous applause
from the audience (the other was the HTML 5 doctype).

The audience were programmers, so I guess the notion of 'don't repeat
yourself' appealed -- not having to specify the same thing in both the
fallback text and the attributes, and risking one being updated without
the other.
