Not sure what you mean here; tal:omit-tag allows "" for true (omit the
tag), while tal:condition requires an expression (at least according
to the spec I'm looking at, which is labelled TAL 1.4).

I don't see any practical reason not to allow tal:omit-tag to inform
processing of tal:attributes.  Technically there's the issue of
tal:attributes expressions which have side effects no longer being
processed, but anyone that does that deserves what they get.  ;-)
