I also don't think it's a problem, but I think it would generally be a
good idea to have values for attributes. So you can say

crlf=yes|no|auto
diff=yes|no|my-xml-diff|...
merge=3way|...

In the yes/no case we could keep the existing syntax on just add the
attribute=othervalue for those that need more than a boolean decision.
