I like the alternate proposal.  The short-cuts are OK, I guess,
although we better only go with this if we like the full form well
enough, because we use prefix a fair bit now, and those usages won't
be able to use the short-cuts in the new scheme.

The medium-verbosity option
    <tt:attribute for="title" name="next-month-title" />
strikes me as unobjectionable.

The low-verbosity option
    tt:attributes="title=next-month-title;href= next-month-url"
is hardly thrilling give that it needs all that non-self-explanatory
syntax in the attribute (is the tt name the one before or after the
equals?), but it does have advantages in addition to brevity: it
allows one to replace nested elements with an attribute, which I
suspect might be handy sometimes.  So I'll offer this one a 0 on a
scale of [-1,0,+1], I guess.
