I agree that either of these would be handy.  (In my TEI Lite
styles, I support the second form on the analogous element: it's
easy to check,when translating into HTML, whether a value for
the relevant attribute exists, and use it if it does, or use
the content of the element otherwise.  But I could live with 
either form.)
