Only if we can agree to get rid of QName. But that means we can't write
RELAX NG grammar by RELAX NG, because it uses QName.

Having a value as an attribute makes it possible for other applications
to add their elements as a child of <param> like:

<param name="minInclusive" value="08:00:00">
<xhtml:p>
  The store will be open 7:00AM in New Year's Eve.
