No, that isn't what the XSLT 1.0 spec says. It says this treatment should
only apply to those HTML elements/attributes that are "booleans".

(A long while ago in Saxon I tried to take this shortcut, of abbreviating
the output for any attribute whose name was equal to its value, and I got
badly bitten by it.)
