Is there a specific change you would like to see made to the wording?
Changing it to "All attributes may be specified by providing just the attribute
name" would not be correct, because using the empty-attribute syntax with many
(or even most) attributes is a conformance error -- because the values of the
attributes must conform to a specific datatype/microsyntax. So the HTML5 spec
does in fact place limits on which attributes can use the empty-attribute
syntax.
And the per-element subsections of "HTML elements" section of the H:TML draft
indicate explicitly which attributes can be empty.
