No, it just knows that in well-formed XML, attributes must have values.

The output element defines the desired output, not the input...

Stop trying to build elements by emitting strings. Try

<xsl:for-each select="/package_content_collection/packages/package">
  <option value="{guid}"><xsl:value-of select="name" /></option>
</xsl:for-each>

instead.
