Tidy to xhtml with parameters such as allowFullScreen

Question

I'm parsing simple oembed urls from youtube, and converting them to xhtml, however, some html gets tidy'd (I believe to be) incorrectly. Shouldn't the valid xhtml be allowFullScreen="true"????? If this is correct, is there some tidy module that will do that? I must I go the "purifier" route?

input from youtube:

<iframe allowfullscreen ... ></iframe>

final output after tidy'ing:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" ...></iframe>

PHP Tidy:

$tidy                   =  new \tidy();
$config             =  array(
    'show-body-only'   => true,
    'char-encoding'    => 'utf8'
);
$output = $tidy -> repairString($data['html'], $config, 'UTF8');

I'm not aware of any XHTML specification that defines an allowfullscreen attribute, which would explain why tidy isn't recognising it as a boolean attribute.

If it is a boolean attribute, then true would not be a valid value for it. The name and the value would be the same string.
