Bug description:inconsistent behavior with booleans in writeElement() method

Description:
------------
I use xmlWriter a lot, but I found a quite inconsistent behavior with
booleans in 

xmlWriter. 



When filling an element/namespace with a boolean : 



- if the boolean is true, it is automatically casted to an int (1), which
is a 

legal representation of the boolean. 

- if the boolean is false, no value is given to the element/attribute. 



I made a little script to reproduce the problem.It runs well in CLI

Test script:
---------------
<?php



xml(true);

xml(false);



function xml($bool) {

        $xml = new XmlWriter();

        $xml->openMemory();

        $xml->setIndent(true);

        $xml->startElement('root');

        $xml->writeAttribute('boolAttr', $bool);

        $res = $xml->writeElement('myboolean',$bool);

        $xml->endElement();

        echo $xml->flush().PHP_EOL;

        var_dump($res);

}

Expected result:
----------------
<root boolAttr="1">

 <myboolean>1</myboolean>

</root>



bool(true)

<root boolAttr="0">

 <myboolean>0</myboolean>

</root>

Actual result:
--------------
<root boolAttr="1">

 <myboolean>1</myboolean>

</root>



bool(true)

<root boolAttr="">

 <myboolean></myboolean>

</root>
