More defaulting

Consider:

<p:serialize>
  <p:option name="href" value="/tmp/out.xml"/>
  <p:option name="method" value="html"/>
</p:serialize>

I wonder if we should allow that to be written as:

<p:serialize href="/tmp/out.xml" method="html"/>

I wonder if we should also allow

  <p:option name="href" value="/tmp/out.xml"/>

to be expressed as

  <p:option href="/tmp/out.xml"/>

I have mixed feelings about both of these, but I find myself doing the
latter by accident sometimes and wishing for the former. Now that we
have options and parameters clearly distinct, it doesn't seem totally
unreasonable to do this.

In both cases, I would expect the attribute values to be taken literally.
If you want a select, you have to do it the long way:

  <p:option name="href" select="concat($basedir,'foo.html')"/>

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
