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.
