Because in the general case, option values can be constructed at
runtime. If we don't make 43/45 dynamic, then we'll need dynamic
errors *as well* for the cases where they can't be checked statically.

e.g.:

<p:add-attribute attribute-value="5">
  <p:with-option name="attribute-name"
                 select="QName('http://example.com/',/*/@name)"/>
</p:add-attribute>

I think the idea was to state some of the really common errors (like
invalid option names/types) in one place, rather than having to repeat
them over and over again.

                                        Be seeing you,
