There is no standard method in XSLT for serializing XHTML.  When
serializing HTML, the processor is obliged to output certain boolean
attributes in minimized form:

   http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-HTML-Output-Method

   "The html output method should output boolean attributes (that is
   attributes with only a single allowed value that is equal to the name of
   the attribute) in minimized form. For example, a start-tag written in
   the stylesheet as

   <OPTION selected="selected">
   should be output as

   <OPTION selected>"

If you've specified XML as the method in the stylesheet's xsl:output
element, then the processor should output the attribute as you are
expecting.  If it outputs an attribute in minimized form, then it's a bug.
